Customer Review: Makes great popsicles!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this thing! I have been using it like crazy ever since I got it. I got really tired of trying to find natural popsicles in the store with no added colors, sugar, corn syrup or other additives that are terrible for you. Especially considering the sky high price for organic popsicles. Fruit is so sweet and delicious that you don't need to add anything! I just blend up strawberries, raspberries, blueberries (whatever I have) and pour them into the molds. Sometimes I add a little lemon juice to the strawberries and maybe a tiny bit of vanilla creme stevia if the berries are very tart. They turn out great! My husband loves them too. They are smaller sized popsicles, but I like them just how they are. When you get bigger ones I think they begin melting and you end up wasting it anyway. I have never even had one of these drip into the drip cup (maybe I eat them too fast? :). They are also very easy to remove. The silicone is the main reason I purchased them. It seemed like a great idea to make them easy to pop out and it is. I have never had a problem. Just pull the tab and out they come as beautiful swirly popsicles. And since the mold turns inside out when you remove them it also makes them very easy to clean. I think they look so much better than all of the other molds I looked at and also take up much less room in the freezer. I am very satisfied with my choice and would highly recommed them.Customer Review: My kid's favorite popsicle molds
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my 2 favorite sets (my other favorite is a stainless steel set with bigger molds that I use for the adults Stainless Steel Popsicle Mold). These molds are smaller than most but it's the perfect size for little kids or for portion control. My kids love the twisty shape and bright colors of the molds. I love that they're BPA-free and so easy to use. I don't even need to run them under water to release them, I just grab the tab and pull the mold off to reveal a beautiful shape! It couldn't be easier than that... Another positive point: I found no weird taste left by the silicone molds, which can be an issue with some other silicone molds. Also, I had read in one review that someone was complaining of leaks where the handle meets the little cup and I was worried about that but I'm happy to report that after several use, I couldn't observe any leak at all. Maybe that one buyer got a defective set... To sum it up, an excellent product! You just have to be aware of the smaller size of the molds.Customer Review: Perfect Pops.

Love these, I've had these since February. Each one holds about 1/4 c. Just the perfect size for my 2 year old. Work just as easy as it says. (UPDATE MAR-2011) So, I've had these for about a year now. They hold up surprisingly well. Every piece comes apart for easy clean up (bowls from the handles, the actual holder itself). My son is now 3 years old and this mold makes the perfect size for a young child. like I said each one holds about 1/4 cup. I usually just puree some fruit in my mini chopper, or use leftover smoothie, or swirl some yogurt with some fruit puree & put it in a pyrex liquid measuring cup & pour (EASY). Really the variations are endless. Plus it's a much more healthier treat than store bought. Most of the time I don't even add any kind of sweetener so I don't feel bad about letting my child eat one after another. He'll just be getting his fruit servings. It does take longer to freeze (about 4 hrs) but for no hassle pops it's totally worth it.Customer Review: Works Great!

These work great! I've used unsweetened Apple Juice (sets up nice and hard!) and leftover smoothies (fruit based mixtures tend to set up softer) and they've both worked great. The sleeves come right off and I never have to run water on them. I've found the easiest way to get them started is to roll the top edge back over itself, then pull the tab and it pulls right off.
The only problem we've had is that one of my kids knocked the tray out of the freezer and the edge of one of the plastic holders (the part that holds the popsicle in the tray) broke off. I don't think it's "fixable" and the Popsicle atill stays in the tray, I just have to watch it when putting it in the freezer.
I highly recommend this product! :)
Customer Review: Love these!

Perfect for a child - too small for an adult.
I bought these for my 3 year old. She never finishes her yogurt (those small 4 oz ones) and I do not like throwing it away. I fill one of these up with the left overs and she is more than happy to eat it another time. In fact she always asks for these saying "I want a yogurt popsicle with a stick please!"
Someone had commented on these being hard to take out of the mold - honestly it is so easy, I can only imagine they are not doing it right. The silicon mold just turns inside out, like removing a sock from your foot. In fact, I get it started and my 3 year old loves to pull it out of the mold herself.
