Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, use whole milk instead of skim milk when preparing the pudding. You can also mix in diced fruits or chocolate chips for added flavor and fun. If you don't have popsicle sticks, plastic spoons work well too. Experiment with different pudding flavors, as kids love variety, and consider making a batch of Granny's Easy Biscuits as a snack alongside these popsicles.

Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pudding popsicles in an airtight container or wrap them individually in plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn. They can last up to two weeks in the freezer. Avoid refreezing once they have thawed, as this can affect the texture. For best results, consume them within a few days after making.
