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!

My favorite frozen treats are sorbets because it’s so fruity and refreshing.
My fingers and toes are crossed!

June 28, 2012Ooh, I saw these the other day on your post! I was thinking about getting them. I think my favorite these days are strawberry-peach popsicles. But when I saw these molds I thought it would be fun to make a strawberry-peach or cantaloupe cocktail for entertaining.

June 28, 2012I LOVE ICE CREAM: ANY KIND, ANY FLAVOR, BUT ESPECIALLY BUTTER PECAN OR CHOCOLATE PECAN. YUM!
Erica
June 28, 2012My favorite frozen dessert is called Strawberry Surprise. Six cups washed, hulled fresh berries, 1 cup sugar (less if berries are very sweet), juices of three lemons and three oranges all blended in the blender (in two batches) until pureed. Stir in 1/2 cup Grand Marnier, pour into 9×13 glass baking pan and freeze. Then using electric beater, beat till mushy. Refreeze till firm and serve. Refreshing and fabulous!

Ruth Myers
June 28, 2012Alright, I confess! My favorite is banana popsicles. When I was 6 years old, I broke my arm and was in the hospital for 2 weeks, with my arm in traction. The one thing I looked forward to every day was I got to have a banana popsicle. For 47 years, it has been my favorite flavor!
Shari
