TIP #1 - WHY PAPER CUPS?

Because it shouldn't stick to the paper and you can peel the paper cups off when ready to eat.

TIP #2:

When you don't have wooden popsicle sticks, using toddler or baby spoons is perfect!

TIP #3:

If using molds, let rest 5-10 minutes before removing. If pops are hard to get out, run molds under warm water for 10 seconds.
