Even with a faulty freezer and Murphy's Law in full effect, these still came out gorgeous.

Place 3 cups cubed, seedless watermelon in a blender with 1/4 cup lime juice and 1 teaspoon sugar. Blend until liquified and pour into cups. Top with lime slices, and use 'em to keep the popsicle sticks upright. Freeze overnight.

Banana Pudding Pops

Make one package of instant vanilla pudding according to package's instructions (basically, add milk and stir), then pour it into Dixie cups, layering pudding, crushed vanilla wafers and banana slices until the cup is full. Add a popsicle stick to each one and freeze overnight.

Mango-Pineapple Pops

Empty one can cubed pineapple (14 ounces) into a blender, along with 1 peeled, cubed mango and 1 cup of water. Add a teaspoon of lemon juice, then puree. Fill Dixie Cups two-thirds of the way full, then add in a few pieces of mango and pineapple. Insert a popsicle stick in each one—you can create a grid on top of each cup using tape to hold the sticks upright—and freeze.

6

Peanut Butter-Chocolate Overload Pops

Alternate layers of chocolate pudding, Nutella and creamy peanut butter in a Dixie Cup, popping in a few chopped, mini Reese's Cups to really take things over-the-top. Insert a popsicle stick in each one and freeze. (Peanut butter alone can be dense—and almost fudgy once frozen—so if you'd prefer a lighter treat, mix 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter with 1 cup of Cool Whip, and use that as a layer instead.)

Layer strawberry yogurt, granola (we like this homemade version) and quartered strawberries in Dixie Cups. Top with popsicle sticks and freeze.

Shark Week Pops

Pour Cool Blue Gatorade into Dixie Cups, filling each one two-thirds of the way up, then sprinkle in shark gummies, mini gummy bears and Swedish fish. The blue sharks will blend into the pops, which makes for an awesome surprise as they melt. (Bonus points if you choose sour gummies—the tangy jolt of flavor is almost as shocking as the fact that there's a Sharknado 3.)
