Cook's Notes

Variation: For pudding, increase quantity of milk in recipe to 2 cups and proceed as directed. Serve pudding warm, at room temperature or chilled topped with additional milk. Time-saving tip: Whip up this icy treat in a flash by replacing the ingredients above with instant chocolate pudding mix and chocolate milk, mix according to the instant pudding package directions. Melt the peanut butter in the microwave, stir it into the pudding and follow directions for making pops as directed above.
