WHAT’S FOR A COOL TREAT?

Alright friends, I’m going to be brutally honest with you here. I’m not the biggest fan of root beer floats. You know when something happens to you as a child and then it’s in your brain forever. Yeah, that’s root beer floats for me. So I’ve had a root beer float 3 times in my life. All before the age of 12. Each and EVERY time, I threw up. Sorry, gross but this is the story. So since that age….I’ve NEVER had a root beer float. Until this past week in the form of a Root Beer Float Popsicle. And it was so good! (No throwing up, by the way)

I was thinking of fun ideas for ice cream week and root beer floats came to mind. Not for me, but because I know they are such a classic ice cream treat, how could I not include these. And then…Popsicles! Fun and different and incredibly EASY!!

So I made them. A little ice cream, a little root beer and freeze. Leah was constantly asking to have a “lollipop” so as soon as these were frozen, she got to be my taste tester. She LOVED these!! Then in true 3 year old fashioned, she wanted to share with mommy and she wouldn’t take no for an answer. So I took a small lick to appease her. Um, guys? It was soooo good! It was this creamy, root beer taste that was incredible! I then proceeded to have my own and then another the next night. The best part is they are so EASY!!

Honesty time again. I’m still not sure I can handle having an actual root beer float but I’m starting with these popsicles and pretty proud of myself.

These are so fun and easy, you gotta try them this summer!! If you are looking for an affordable and great popsicle mold, this is the one we use and love.
