Popsicles are a wonderful summertime treat, and while it is entirely possible to make popsicles without a mold and get great results, it’s always a little bit more fun to have some neat molds for making ice pops. There are all kinds of popsicle molds out there – both in very plain and more elaborate designs – but one of my favorite molds are in the shape of the rocket/bomb pops that I was a huge fan of as a kid. So, I decided to share the pop-love by giving away a set of Tovolo Rocket Pop Molds! These molds, which I reviewed here, give pops a fun rocket shape time and again. They’re durable and it is easy to get the pops out of them, no matter what flavor of pop you’ve made .
To enter the contest, just leave a comment below and mention your favorite frozen treat – whether it is something simple, that you might find at an ice cream truck in the park, or something more elaborate that you might put together at home or have at a gourmet ice cream shop. The contest ends Sunday at midnight (07/01/2012) and one winner will be randomly selected from the entries. Don’t forget to fill in your e-mail on the comment form (it will not be made public), as that is how I will contact the winner, and good luck!

Maggie
June 28, 2012My favorite frozen treat is popsicles – especially if they’re blue. I think it’s hilarious to have my tongue be an unexpected color after a tasty treat. 🙂

June 28, 2012My favorite frozen treat would have to be this nutty orea ice cream cake my mother makes. Other than that as a child i LOVE blue and white freezies!
Chris K
June 28, 2012I have to say my favorite would be Snickers Ice Box Cake. Easy enough to make, a great combination of flavors, and pudding instead of ice cream do it doesn’t feel quite so decadent.
Tashi

Dan
June 28, 2012Melon, lime juice and fresh mint, pureed and frozen. Summer on a stick.

Melissa R
June 28, 2012My favorite was the S’more Galore parfait at Dairy Queen – they had it years ago. I try to recreate it sometimes but it just isn’t the same! 🙂
Joni
June 28, 2012Honestly, I just love simple homemade vanilla ice cream. I use a recipe slightly modified from The Perfect Scoop, and it is so much better than store-bought vanilla. Even my husband has become a convert.
Talina
June 28, 2012Drumsticks! The kind with the chocolate fudge sauce in the middle!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Amanda V
June 28, 2012Reese’s Blizzard!! so perfect.

June 28, 2012I always make pineapple paletas. So much better than store bought and much more economical especially when fresh pineapple is on sale.
Davita
June 28, 2012hmm that is such a hard question ans frozen treats are the best, but i would have to go with Gelato in a shot of espresso would be up there on the list, at least today.
Michelle Henry

Crystal @EatDrinkCleveland
June 28, 2012Frozen treats – love them all! I would say that a classic ice cream sandwich made with good ice cream is one of my favorites though.
Linda
June 28, 2012Reading all the good ones mentioned, I have to say I agree with most of them. All good things. My latest passion is Trader Joe’s tiny ice cream cones. I think they are called ‘Hold That Cone”. They come in vanilla and chocolate. I swear I can eat a whole box at one sitting (and confess I have). I can’t even buy them because I’m so obsessed with them if they are in the house. After that I’d say my next favorite one is TJ’s Fruit Frenzy Bars. Perfect for a hot day. Very refreshing and I love the three flavors in layers.

June 28, 2012I love ice cream!!!
JA
June 28, 2012Really hard to choose as ice cream and other frozen treats are my fav desserts. But I have always loved the strawberry shortcake ice cream bars from the ice cream truck. Sooooo Good!
Leyla
June 28, 2012I always love trying new flavors but I almost *always* gravitate to my favorite… mint chocolate chip 🙂 The mintyness is refreshing and the dark chocolate chips add that sweet decadence im craving.

June 28, 2012In the summer, we love to make watermelon granita. The whole family enjoys it, and it is so simple to make 🙂 Our kids love frozen yogurt too, so we always have yogurt cups in the freezer with Popsicle sticks poking out
Jen S.
June 28, 2012Lately, I have been addicted to Edy’s peach juice bars – yum! As a kid, the bomb pop was my favorite – I couldn’t wait to get to the blue at the bottom!
ellen
June 28, 2012I have a dairy allergy, so there’s so many frozen treats I can’t have! I do love Tofutti Crispy Crunch Bars, and experiment with making non-dairy popsicles as well!
Mike
June 28, 2012Fudgesicles! (and I need to try your recipe from a couple yrs. back)
Margaret
June 28, 2012Homemade ice cream!
Rita
June 28, 2012My favorite has always been sherbet, the push pops I could get from the ice cream truck, or the blue raspberry that would turn my entire mouth blue. I always liked the slightly tart, fruity flavors in the summer.
Heather
June 28, 2012I loved the popsicles you could get from the ice cream truck with the gum at the very bottom! It’s like two treats in one!
