And I am cracking myself up as I go back-to-back weeks with boozy popsicles/pudding pops. If it wasn’t ice cream at Thriftys, then if was slushies at 7-11, or even K-Mart (does that even exist anymore?). The taste? Pure summer, with more childhood memories on my mind. Seriously, check out how easy these are to make – some Baileys Irish Cream, vanilla pudding, a little chocolate pudding for the striping, chopped-up Andes chocolate mints, and a drop of green dye to give them that authentic mint chip ice cream look.

So instead of loading Connor into his car seat and going to the grocery store for some mint chip ice cream, I decided to make a grown-up version with these Baileys Chocolate Mint Chip Pudding Pops, since I had everything I needed right in the pantry. Life is so simple and fun at 10 and I tell my sons now to enjoy every minute of being a kid. What was it back then, $0.50 a scoop? Whatever it was, I bought it with my hard earned money – mowing lawns, cleaning pools, washing cars…or looking under a couch cushion. Me, sitting curbside outside of Thrifty after a day at the beach, eating mint chip ice cream on a cone. In fact, I was walking our baby to the pool today and a random image of my childhood popped in my head. School is almost out, the weather is absolutely perfect as always here in Southern California, and I’ve got summer on my mind. As you can see, I am still on my pudding pop roll.
