Watermelon Pops!

Ok here's what you need to know: I LOVE watermelon. It's an addiction really. A secret addiction. As in everyone knows but no one really knows ecstatic I get about watermelon things. I have been more and more open about my watermelon love as I get older. As I get more open about it however, I feel like I actually care less about watermelon. I like anything to do with watermelon, but watermelon flavored thing are generally yucky. Actual watermelon is hard to like all the time, you never know what your going to get. It's kinda a crap shoot, maybe you get a good one, maybe you don't. 

There is 2 things to look for when buying a watermelon:

1) one nice yellow spot, that means it's been resting on the ground and absorbing water (which is a good thing)

2) It's really heavy for it's size - which means it's got a lot of water. 

You can also knock, but from my experience unless you knock and eat and knock and eat how do you know what a good knock sounds like? Anyways you can also look that information up on the internet. 

So food that looks like watermelon I also love. So cute, so fun. Now you see where I'm actually going with this. 

This is what I made.

Here's what they look like according to Kraft.

As you can tell I choose not to add chocolate chips. I think that's weird to have random chocolate in your frozen treat. (unless it's ice cream)

Also it calls for some weird cream cheese mixture, which I'm sure is delicious to some people.

Not I, I find that so gross. So I substituted whipped cream.  I was worried that it wouldn't hold up becasue cream doesn't freeze exeptionally well. However as you can see it held up quite well. 

The only problem I ran into is the molds. I used my regular molds for popsicles, what would have been nicer is one with a longer handle that went farther into the popsicles to support it better. As when I pulled a few out the red part got stuck in the bottom because the stick didn't reach that part at all. As long as I ran it under warm water long enough to really unstick the top it was fine. Also the molds I used were skinny and it was harder to make each layer smooth and fit as a clear layer - I ended up wiping the container after I filled each layer. It did't take long but if my molds were wider it would have been easier.
