Seems like I’ve been in such an “end of summer” mode lately. I also forgot for a second that I live in Florida. Just for a second though, until I walked outside.
Here in Florida, we have a few more months of summer before we get into our fall. No winter. Since it is still summer, we are still trying to beat the heat. Nothing is more perfect to beat the heat than ice pops. I wanted to make some fudge pops, considering the fact that I was making ice pops all summer.
I altered Alton Brown’s recipe a little and I think it was a WINNER!
Ingredients:
6 oz of semi sweet chocolate, chopped
4 oz of hot fudge
1 cup of heavy cream
3/4 cup of whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp mint extract
6-7 large fresh mint leaves, minced
Directions:
1. In a medium sauce pan, combine chopped chocolate, hot fudge, heavy cream, milk, vanilla and mint extract on medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, with silicone covered whisk until all chocolate is melted and all ingredients are combined.
2. Add the minced mint, stir well and take off heat.
3. Divide the mixture between the molds and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours.
Enjoy!!
* I am linking this recipe to THESE GREAT PARTIES, in my party tab. Why don’t you visit the wonderful hosts and link some of your own projects!?
These sound super delish! I have to try them, because it’ll be hot here for awhile still too!
Yum! Those look delicious!! Thanks for sharing! XO
These look so yummy!
Found you at I heartnaptime. I’m pinning these bad boys for a day I’m feeling motivated! I have mint growing like crazy and I’m always looking for recipes that incorporate it. Rachel@onceuponasewingmachine
I have some great memories of making Jell-O pudding pops all by myself. I thought I was a fantastic cook because of that. One of my all time favorite flavors is choco-mint. Nothing like homemade girlie.
I love mint, in fact had some today with lamb! These look so yummy and chocolate and mint are a great combo! Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration with Sunday’s Best – you helped make the party a success!
Thank you! You always have such sweet comments!
Ok, those sound really good!
Thank you! Hope you get a chance to make them
Thank you!!
Thank you so much, Jamielyn!
Thank you!! Hope you do
We have fresh mint growing but haven’t used it for anything yet! Thanks for the delicious idea!
Okay, I could eat a jar hot fudge all by itself, no icream. Anything that uses it in the recipe has got to be good. I’d love it if you shared this over at my link party.

Oh my word- those look great.
YUM! I will definitely have to pass this recipe on to my mom, she loves chocolate and mint! Thanks so much for sharing
Great recipe. Where did you get the wooden popsicle sticks?
Sorry for a late response. I actually got the wooden popsicle sticks in a craft section of the store.
Thank you!
