"PopsIcyTreatsForEveryone" news and stories

I do believe that Krystina Castella's book, Pops! Icy Treats for Everyone has been the hottest cookbook this summer. I've seen it everywhere from Oh Joy! to Baking Bites to Elastic Waist. I've had it sitting on the arm of the rocking chair in my living room (where all my homeless cookbooks end up) for the last month. I bought some popsicle molds so that I could try out a few of the recipes, but life (and the state of my freezer) has continually gotten between me and homemade popsicles. However, last weekend, my boyfriend and I bought a new refrigerator. It will be here on Saturday and so I pulled Pops! out of the stack so that I could prepare to take advantage of the new, larger freezer that's coming my way.

Having spent a little time flipping through this book, I can see why everyone has been going so crazy for it. Castella divided the book into six sections, Healthy Energy Pops, Fruit Juice Pops, Soda Fountain Pops, Cream and Pudding Pops, Coffee and Tea Pops and Cocktail Pops. These are definitely not the old popsicles I made with nothing more than reconstituted orange juice as a kid.

I think that the first recipe I'm going to test out when I have the new freezer this weekend will be Apricot Pops on page 47. For those of you who already have this book, which recipes have you tried? Any that are must-makes?
