Really good. All of my family loves it.

Made this with my five year old, simple enough for her to help out extensively. We put ours in shaped ice cube trays for smaller servings. We jab a toothpick into the pop when it's time to eat it. Much less meltage that way.

Made these for my 3 year old yesterday & we tried them today. We're not fans. Followed the recipe exactly, and maybe this is how they're supposed to be, but they were very chewy. More like eating hardened pudding. What a waste of ingredients & money. Will just buy them from now.

Horrible, my 11 yr gson wouldn't even eat them. I followed the recipe exactly. Left a film in your mouth, butter maybe.

Has anyone tried this with soy or coconut milk? We're a non-dairy household.

After tweaking this recipe a bit, I would give it five stars. I cut down on the brown sugar, adding only 1/2 packed cup and also omitted the salt. When putting "batter" into cups, I swirled in peanut butter. I am looking forward to making this recipe again!

ParoGirl: Reduce the flour how much and how much half and half? I measure exactly.

Mlf23: How much brown sugar would you use?

Reviewed on Aug. 27, 2009 by Mlf23

Very good! I would probably use less brown sugar next time because they were a little too sweet for me. Will make again for sure.

Reviewed on Aug. 27, 2009 by ParoGirl

We liked this alot! But next time I think I may make it less 'pudding' like by reducing the flour and adding a bit of half and half.

 Maybe to avoid all the preservatives, artificial colors and flavorings? I try to avoid as much artificial color and flavoring as I can.

Hi, PatriciaQ How did the homemade fudge pops with the Splenda brown sugar blend? Thanks Im Diabetic. MarS

Reviewed on Aug. 20, 2009 by PatriciaQ

I am going to try using skim milk and Splenda Brown Sugar Blend to bring the calories and carbohydrates down. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Maybe to avoid high fructose corn syrup. I hear it's not so good for you.

The ones you buy have fewer calories, less carbs and are fat free. They are also better for diabetics as they don't have added sugar!!!

why go to all the trouble when you can buy them. And they are less calories.

Can light butter be used instead of regular butter?

Reviewed on Aug. 20, 2009 by doodlebug56

To add to the above comment... can Splenda be used for sugar free diets?
