I’ve finally settled into summer (and have let go of the maybe irrational fear that it is going to snow again). And it’s been busy. Every day my five year old asks me “What are we doing today?” and it is my job to come up with an answer that forms warm childhood memories while being good for her and educational. This is no small feat.
So it has taken me all week to make some new popsicles for my little blog here. And since last week I posted cucumber popsicles, I thought I’d go with something a little more crowd (and kid) friendly today. Because while frozen cucumber concoctions may not be everyone’s taste, chocolate sure is (and I’m very skeptical of people who claim it isn’t). I switched up half of the regular white sugar in this recipe for some dark brown sugar. I always like how brown sugar pairs with chocolate and gives it a little depth. These fudgsicles have a richness I don’t remember from the yellow box version i had as a kid, but it has been a while.
And on the subject of warm childhood memories, do you have any rituals/traditions from childhood you loved? What traditions would you recommend?

ingredients:
- 4 tbl. (1 & 1/2 oz.) semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 c. sugar
- 1/3 c. brown sugar
- 2 tbl. cornstarch
- 3 tbl. cocoa powder
- 2 & 1/2 c. whole milk
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tbl. butter
In a small saucepan, melt chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly. Add sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, whole milk, and salt. Bring heat up to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture combines and thickens, 5 to 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. Allow chocolate mixture to cool a bit, then pour into your popsicle molds. Freeze for 1 hour, then add popsicle sticks. Freeze completely. Release popsicle from mold by running mold under hot water briefly.
