I’m a sucker for the $1 section at Target. They get me every time! Yesterday I spent a whole $2 on a dozen Popsicle molds that I didn’t plan on getting, but that I clearly needed since summer is coming up. Right?

Whether you’ve succumb to the whims of the $1 section, you plan to turn Dixie cups into molds or you’ve found nice BPA-free Popsicle molds, get started whipping up some summertime treats with a few of these recipes, which include watermelon pops, green pineapple pops and even no-drip banana pops! Delish!

• NatureMom has some great tips for selecting BPA-free molds and slipping some kale into your kids’ pineapple smoothies for an extra boost of B vitamins.
• Make Your Own Baby Stuff is genius for coming up with this recipe: No-Drip Popsicles! Sign me up!
• SheKnows offers some classic recipes for orange, watermelon or strawberry Popsicles, along with a brief history of the classic summertime snack.
• As always, you can find a wide assortment of recipes at Cooks.com. I recommend reading user comments to find the best pops to please your family’s palates.

Happy snacking!
