Bought some lollipop moulds but not sure what to put in them!

[kitpuss]

I've bought some lollipop moulds so I can be a good mother and make some fun lollipops with my little boy, but now I've got them home I cannot think what to put in them other than squash. Has anyone got any ideas that they have used? thanksx

Blend some soft fruit with milk and freeze. I also put pieces of banana or kiwi in them so they have a surprise in the middle.

fruit juice.... perhaps a smoothie type mix (ie banana, icecream and milk etc)

that's about all I can think of.

I made some margarita ones once with Tequila. Maybe more fun for mummy than ds though....

ooh I like the idea of putting some soft fruit inside them too.

It's amazing what DS2 will eat if it is in the middle of a lolly....

I know this is a fag but my mum freezes one juice half way e.g cranberry or raspberry then tops up with apple juice.

Yoghurt worked, if I remember correctly. (It might have been a smoothie though).

I wonder if you could do a chocolate milkshake one with marshmallows speared on the stick inside?

Not that I want to subvert the healthy eating message, mind - and at least my suggestion wasn't tequila based

What great ideas, thanks! I just love Mumsnet, where else could you find the answer to such a silly question at 8am in the morning, it's brilliant

I like tinned fruit in mine. The ds' are just fruit juice lolly eaters.

strawberries and champagne.. and then dip that in white chocolate when it come out of the mold.. bung it back in the freezer.. and hey presto.. not for the dc's tho

fruit juice with a few jelly babies

orange juice with some mandarin segments

grape juice and grapes

whatever juice is open and tinned fruit cocktail

bcns try adding a bit of tia maria as well mmmm

pimms and raspberries is nice too

do you use moulds like this? says for chocolate, is it the same thing?

I have the buzz now!

oh nevermind you mean these things here

Pureed pears and strawberry fromage frais taste like cola lollies - or did the last time I made them.

our kids love copella apple or tropicana in theirs. do ribena(diluted) ones too but they prefer the pure juice ones.

strawberry yogurt+bit of vanilla icecream+ strawberries blended is nice too

The lego website has ice lolly moulds shaped like lego mini characters and Lakeland has some shaped like rockets. We have plain ones but might invest...

If you have a Lidl near you, buy some of theor juice that has the word "Nectar" on the front. Like Pear Nectar or Peach Nectar. Its thicker than normal juice as it has pulp in it too. Not too great for drinking, but makes great frozen lollies as the flavour is more intense than normal juice.

Plus its really really cheap!

polly.. i'll be trying that
