It is so easy to make fudge pops! The only thing that is difficult is waiting for them to freeze so you can eat them!
These fudge pops are made with both cocoa powder and dark chocolate so they have a double dose of chocolate in them.
I have many sets of popsicle molds. All have a plastic stick that fits on top and they are very easy to use. However, I like to use wooden sticks sometimes so I set the pops in the freezer for a couple of hours (or more) until they are starting to freeze.
I place a sheet of plastic wrap on top and make a small slit over each mold. When the pops are starting to freeze and have thickened, I insert a wooden stick. The plastic wrap helps hold the stick upright while the freezing occurs.
The best way to remove these fudge pops from their plastic molds is to run a little hot water over the molds and pull to loosen. They will start to melt right away so either put them back into the freezer to reharden or use a trick that I use to keep them frozen until I can take photos.
I usually freeze a marble platter or pedestal, but any kind of stone or marble will work. Once it is frozen, I get it out of the freezer at the same time I get out the fudge pops. I loosen them under hot water and pull them out of the molds and immediately place them on the frozen marble. They will stop thawing and stay frozen until you can remove all the pops to serve.
Enjoy!
