slow melt popsicles

**Sara Noel** · 07-07-2009, 01:01 PM

Gabe bought slow melt popsicles the other day for the kids. I'm a little slow to new products available, so I kind of laughed but think it's a great idea.

But why not make your own?

i've never heard of them ... what do they use to make them melt slower?

Looks like jello! Great idea!!!!

My mom used to make popsicles and fudgesicles all the time. In fact I just made fudgesicles over the weekend but couldn't find mom's recipe for popsicles. Thank you so much! I will definitely try this for my granddaughters.

Same thing as the homemade recipe I linked to...gelatin.

How do you make your fudgesicles?
here's one adapted by Alton Brown's recipe

Do you use pudding in the fudgesicles? I'm picturing sugar free fudgesicles for me!

Oooo! I'll bet I could do this with unflavored gelatin and fruit juice (avoiding artificial colors). Thanks!!

I'm going to try it with gelatin and juice - just looks like you would need to use 3 cups of juice instead of the 2 used to make an actual "jello"

I'd love to try this but DS10 is on a sugar free diet and DS5 doesn't need a ton of sugar in his diet. I might make some for DH and I.

Wow I never heard of slow melt popsicles before. My 2 year old nephew really loves to eat popsicles, but right after he eats it, he is all wet and sticky. This would be a great recipe and I think I'm gonna try it.

HelloThanks!

My grama had a very similar recipe to the one posted and I made it with Sugar Free Jello and Crystal Light instead of Koolaid. I know there are lots of artificial sweeteners in those products but it made them sugar free and they turned out the same as the real recipe!

Sounds good, might have to try it!

**Debbie-cat** · 08-05-2009, 10:15 AM

These sound cool! I am going to have to try it just to see if they drip.

**Jenibelle** · 08-06-2009, 10:44 AM

Just a thought....

Would these make good gifts-in-a-jar? Might be a fun one for the kiddos, you could give out assorted flavors/colors depending on the jello & koolaid you used.
