Peanut Butter And Jelly Popsicles And Variations

Try swirling the jelly a little more than I did for better results.

What's better than a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Why, peanut butter and jelly popsicles of course. These didn't sound really good to me at first, but I gave it a try because it was different and used ingredients I always have on hand. These are so yummy. My kids are always asking for one for a snack and I love them too! Plus, they have lots of good-for-you protein too.

Peanut Butter And Jelly Popsicles

1 cup smooth peanut butter
2 cups plain low-fat yogurt (I used vanilla. It tastes better I think.)
2 cups milk
4 tbs. honey
4 tsp. vanilla extract
jelly of choice

1) Combine peanut butter, yogurt, milk, honey, and vanilla in a food processor or blender until smooth.

2) Pour mixture into popsicle molds, leaving 1/4 inch or so room on top for jelly. This depends on what size mold you have.



3) Microwave jelly, just until a little liquidy. (I didn't do this, but I bet it would help you mix it much better. I've done this with other recipes and it worked great.) Spoon 1 teaspoon jelly, (Use more, if you have a larger mold than I used.) on top of peanut butter mixture.



4) Use popsicle stick to swirl jelly into peanut butter mixture, then stand stick upright. (This didn't work so well for me because my jelly was too thick. This is why you should microwave it slightly.)



5) Freeze until solid, preferably overnight. Enjoy!!

This made 24 popsicles the size you see in the pictures.

Variations:

Add chopped up bananas instead of, or in addition to jelly, for a healthier treat.

Just have a plain ol' peanut butter popsicle. My husband likes them a lot this way. My favorite is with the jelly in it.

Try mixing in other ingredients and see what kind of flavor creations you can make.
