I have a feeling that months from now, when I’m looking back on this summer, I may end up thinking of it as The Great Summer of So Many Popsicles.

We started popsicle season really early this year, and the kids and I have had a ridiculous amount of fun coming up with new recipes to try out, during our daily popsicle break/tasting sessions. Oh, summer, how we love thee!

With all this experimenting, most recipes go through a fair bit of tweaking before they finally get written down in my recipe book. A couple weeks ago though, I felt pretty confident about our chocolate fudgesicle recipe on just the second try, so I handed one to my husband to get his take on it.

He took a bite. And another. And then he shook his head.  “Are you sure you want to share this recipe?” he asked. “I mean – we could start a fudgesicle business around this recipe! And also – can I have one of these every day?”

Ok, then. We’re going to take that as a thumbs-up. Now, while I appreciated his enthusiastic approval, I do not see myself starting a popsicle company. Not now. Not in any lifetime. I’m only too happy to share this with anyone looking for a good, fudgey, foolproof chocolate fudge pop recipe, that uses real ingredients and isn’t based around a box of pudding mix.

Here it is:

Compared to dumping a box of powder in a bowl and whipping it up with some milk, this might seem like taking the long way to “homemade” fudgesicle heaven. But really – it’s only four ingredients, and if you make this chocolate pudding pops recipe as often as I do, you could make these in your sleep. It’s as quick and easy as scrambling up an egg or making a bowl of oatmeal. Easy peasy.

But don’t make them because they’re easy. Make them because they’re wonderful. And addictive. I really hope you enjoy them as much as we do!!
