Eversince I found these $2 popsicles /icy poles moulds in Kmart, I have gone on popsicles rampage making hundreds popsicles since the beginning of summer :D
A dozen of popsicles didn't last long in the freezer, especially during those hot summer days. 
Perth summer can be very unforgiving.

Before this $2 Kmart popsicle moulds, I was eyeing Zoku Popmaker, but the price tag! Wow...$55 per set and it makes 3 popsicles!!!
Yes... Zoku makes pop in 10 minutes, but 3? I could foresee someone (ie my Missy No 1 popsicle eater) will finish all 3 in 10 minutes too, left nothing for .... me :o

It takes longer time to be able to enjoy popsicles with my $2 Kmart moulds, but it teaches us ('us' refers to the Missy the popsicle eater  ;P ) few things - good things comes to those who wait, need not burn a hole in our wallet to get the same end results... and finally, when I am done using my $2 Kmart popsicles mould... I can either give it away, throw it away without guilt :D

I have since made batches and batches of popsicles... from yoghurt (Yoplait is the best) to fruit juices (when mom is feeling uninspired and teeny weeny bit lazy...) 

Pineapple Mint popsicle is our favourite. Its easy, only 2 ingredients required (3 if sugar/ honey is added)
