# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • No artificial colors or weird ingredients you cannot pronounce
  • My toddler actually asks for these instead of candy now
02 -
  • Wait until your popsicles are completely frozen before trying to remove them or the sticks will pull right out of the fruit mixture
  • Run the mold under warm water not hot or you will melt the outer layer too quickly
03 -
  • Room temperature fruit blends more smoothly than cold fruit straight from the fridge
  • Invest in silicone molds because they are so much easier to release than plastic ones
