Homemade Mini Popsicles

I have fond memories of sitting in the porch swing on hot Midwest summer afternoons, watching the neighborhood go by while enjoying homemade popsicles. I savored each lick, making the frozen treat last as long as possible while it melted in the rising heat and dripped down my arm.

I scoured the Internet and finally tracked down Tupperware Popsicle Molds, but with temperatures on the rise I got a little antsy for their arrival and made some mini ones using ice cube trays.
