There’s nothing like a cold popsicle on a hot summer’s day ~ especially if it can be chocolate, right? 🙂
You can eat yummy popsicles without the harmful high fructose corn syrup and other fake chemicals added!
Well I found a very yummy recipe to make not only popsicles, but chocolate ones! 😉
This recipe said to melt the chocolate chips in the microwave, but since I don’t have a microwave, I went for a healthier option ~ I melted the chocolate in the milk on the stove and then added the other ingredients.
Recipe~
- Melt chocolate chips into milk on stove.
- Stir in sugar, cornstarch and cocoa powder and cook on medium-high heat for about 10 minutes or until mixture thickens. Stir frequently.
- Remove from heat and add vanilla and butter.
- Cool mixture completely and pour into popsicle molds.
- Freeze completely ~ it took mine 3-4 hours. It depends on the size of your molds
Note: This recipe made 12 popsicles for the molds I have. I only have 6 molds, so I stored the extra in a bowl in the refrigerator for refills! 🙂
Enjoy! 🙂
Don’t have popsicle molds? You can purchase them here.

Ohh, the kids are going to love these! I haven’t bought or made popsicles for a long time to avoid just those ingredients you mentioned. I think I can break out my popsicle molds again though! Thanks!
Learned a couple of things here today. :o)
Bookmarked it, too.
I can’t have a lot of chocolate, though I will definitely make this because I miss fudgesicles.
What do I need to change to make the popsicles?
If you wanted to make regular popsicles, you would have to find a completely different recipe. Or, I have always just poured fruit juice in the molds to make fruit popsicles. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
Do you use organic corn starch – or have a recommended non-GMO corn starch? I love the idea of chocolate fudge pops!
Organic corn starch would definitely be the best. You can purchase through Amazon or your local health food store. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
This looks like a great alternative to store-bought. Thanks for sharing!
hi jill.. if I cant eat corn what can I use in the place of corn?
