Well actually, I’m headed to my parents’ brand new house in Wichita, that just so happens to be on a lake. They just moved in two weeks ago, and the back door of the house is literally just a dozen or so steps away from their new mini-dock on this quiet little sandpit lake where my mom used to go swimming when she was growing up. After having lived in their last house for 20 years, this is the first time that they’ve ever lived on the water, so this “lake life” is (literally) new territory for all of our family. But hey — my parents already bought a used boat from a neighbor down the block, my sister and brother-in-law gave them a bunch of floaty rafts for Christmas, we scored some great kayaks in a clearance sale last weekend, and I even picked up a little life jacket for Henry. So I’d say we’re all off to a good start!
The whole family was actually in Wichita this past weekend to celebrate my dad’s 60th birthday, when we spent the majority of that time either rafting or swimming or kayaking or chillaxin’ on the back patio together. But after being home for 3 days, I’m heading back down there again today (with my pup in tow) to take care of my mom after her knee surgery this week. Everyone in our family knows that I get squeamish at the faintest sight of anything “medical”. So I volunteered to be in charge of food for the family while I’m home, and plan to cook up a storm in their new kitchen. Mom has been dropping hints for weeks about — oh — a few hundred or so of her favorite dinner recipes from the blog that she’s counting on me to make for her. But I happen to know that her favorite meal of the day is dessert, especially when it has anything to do with chocolate and peanut butter.
So since her recovery happens to fall smack dab in the middle of July heat, I thought a batch of these homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Pops might be just what the doctor ordered… :)
Actually, I think my friends would agree that these were also just what the doctor ordered for us in Kansas City too. I ended up making three batches of these last month as I was tinkering around with the recipe, and everyone was more than happy to sample a frozen pop while the temperatures were climbing up and up and up outside. Apparently adults are never too old for a good ol’ fashioned fudge pop. ;)
But the good news is that these pops are actually made with 6 healthier, non-processed ingredients. And with all of that good almond milk, peanut butter and Greek yogurt in there, they are also chocked full of protein. So let’s make a batch, shall we?
These 6-Ingredient Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Pops are easy to make, full of protein, naturally sweetened, and an absolutely delicious frozen treat!
1/3 cup honey (or your desired sweetener), using more or less to taste
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract, store-bought or homemade
popsicle sticks
Instructions
Stir all ingredients together until combined, adding more or less sweetener as needed (to your taste).
Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, placing popsicle sticks in the center of each, then freeze for 6-8 hours or until completely frozen.
Serve frozen.

These look so good! And refined sugar free – even better. I’ve been eyeing some popsicle molds, and this looks like just the recipe to try them out! Have a happy 4th!

Thanks Stephanie, we hope you enjoy them, and that you have a happy 4th as well!
Love this! I wish your dog much more luck than mine in that life jacket. My poor pug thinks he is a human and even with the life jacket he tries to, what can best be described as, walk on his back legs in the water.
Umm. YES!! I was just telling Rich I want to make Jello-O Pudding Pops. These certainly kick it up a notch. I hope your mom has a smooth surgery and recovery! Enjoy lake life!
Wow! I have all of these ingredients at home, just waiting to be put together in this recipe. I will be making this soon, and will share my results on Instagram!! Yum! Perfect summer treat.
These look so awesome! I’m having my first baby this summer & planning to stock our freezer with healthy dinners… and popsicles! Would you recommend this popsicle mold? If so, where can I get it?! Thanks for the great recipe, I can’t wait to make it!!

Hi Ali,
These look great! Perfect for the warm summer temps. Just wondering how you store the pops once out of the mold.
I hope your mom is feeling better. Have a great long weekend!
Thank you Ceilidh, I appreciate that! I hope you enjoy your weekend as well. : )
Yum – these look like a good sense, especially as the weather just keeps on climbing and climbing in Kentucky.

These look so easy! I have to buy my own popsicle molds, there are so many variations to try. Peanut butter and chocolate is one of my fave combos :)

Think you could sub coconut milk (canned) for greek yogurt if you’re dairy-free? Thanks!
You sure can, and we bet it would be delicious! We hope you enjoy!

Hi Ali
These look amazing! Do you think I could substitute full fat coconut milk for the greek yogurt for a dairy-free option? Thanks!
Hey Bethany! Yes, we think you could definitely that for a good dairy-free option — we think it would be delicious with the coconut milk!
Fudge pops were one of my favorite summer treats growing up, before I became lactose-intolerant. I love this dairy free version! :)
Thanks Sarah, we hope you enjoy them!
I made these last night and they are delicious!
Thanks Jane, we’re so glad to hear that!
These looks incredible Ali! Love the peanut butter twist!
