Ingredients:
- 2 boxes instant pudding mix {flavor/color of choice}
- 4 cups milk
- food coloring {if needed}
- assorted sprinkles
- colored candy melts, melted, for drizzle
Directions:
- Prepare both pudding mixes in two separate bowls by adding mix and 2 cups water and whisking for two minutes until thickened.
- I used strawberry cupcake flavor {pink} and white chocolate {white} and separated the prepared white pudding into two bowls.
- Add 2-3 drops of desired color food coloring to each both and mix until color is throughout. I used purple and blue.
- Now get creative! Add sprinkles in the bottom of some pop molds and then fill.with one or 2 colors of pudding. You can also top with sprinkles.
- Add sticks or picks to the center of the pops and place in the freezer for about 2 hours.
- Remove from freezer and let sit for a few minutes until you can gently remove from the molds.
- You can also drizzle colored candy melted on the pops and add sprinkles on top.
- Serve right away or place back in the freezer until ready to eat.
