we love popsicles around here, especially pudding pops! so we made some delicious rainbow banana pudding pops yesterday which are super simple to make....and they come out so pretty you just have to smile! the best thing about using pudding for the rainbow is that you don't have to wait for each colored layer to set before adding the next color. since the pudding is thick, you can just layer them all at once. these are perfect for St. Patrick's Day or any day for that matter.
how to make pudding pops
ingredients
2 - large boxes (5.1 oz) instant pudding mix (light colored)

well, if you do it like me you can use drinking cups out of plastic or better-silicone. To get the Popsicles out, just put them under hot water for a few seconds and oull out or let them stand fr a short time. its better than throwing away those cups all the time and buying new ones because you can use silicon molds or plastic drinking cups for forever..

Just be careful to use plastic. Check that your plastics doesn't have the toxic BPA (bisphenol A) or PVC (phthalates).
