My new toy, Zoku Quick Pop Maker, had arrived! I purchased it from the Indigo online store when they were 50% off and free shipping to an Indigo/Chapter store of your choice, not a bad deal.
For the first time, I followed exactly the recipe from the Zoku Blog -- Strawberry Lime Pops. It was very simple to make and the pops popped right out of the maker at exactly the time suggested. This recipe requires 0.5 tablespoon of sugar per pop plus the sugar in the limeade so we allowed Baby J to licked it only a few times. I would definitely decrease the amount of sugar if I make it again.
The taste was OK but Hubby still likes Häagen-Dazs more. ~.~
