Melon Madness Ice Pops FAQs
What kind of molds should I use?
You can use whatever ice pop molds you want for this recipe! You can find some nice ones that have holes for adding sticks—or even ones that come with their own sticks. Alternatively, you can use any type of mold you have lying around.
Material-wise, silicone molds are going to be the easiest to use. You can also find some nice solid plastic molds out there. Metal molds might be a bit ticky to remove the ice pops from, but you can run the outside of the mold under hot water to loosen the pop from the mold.
How should I store ice pops after removing them from their molds?
After removing the ice pops from your molds, you'll need to store them in your freezer until you're ready to eat them. You can just keep them all in a freezer-friendly bag or container.
