Mini Parfait Popsicle Recipe

Is there anything better than an ice-cold popsicle on a sweltering day? How about a popsicle that is simple, yet wholesome? We can't think of a better way to beat the heat than with this chilled treat.

How about those challenging mornings where your kids would rather eat junk instead of the breakfast you prepared? Many children express their budding independence through eating—or not eating, as the case may be. Picky eating is typical behavior for kids.

In our home, Mini Parfait Pops are a healthy alternative disguised as a sweet treat!
