"I saw this recipe on The View in a segment called "Spike It". This is a great idea to bring to outdoor gatherings such as 4th of July. Becareful of the kiddies since this does contain alcohol.
Cook time is freeze time.

While I haven't tried the frozen result I did try the mix and it was really tasty! Will be having the pops tonight and can't wait! -
What a great summertime treat. I will be making these for my 4th of July party. I'm sure they'll be a big hit with the over twenty one crowd. My husband thinks they're even better after they are a few days old.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a recent convert to vegetarianism but my husband is not. Since I have been doing most of the cooking it becomes a balancing act of seeing what I can add meat to later or what meat substitue he'll allow for me use.
I'm a military brat who grew up with lots of ethnic food but very little "American" cuisine while my husband is a meat and potatos guy whose idea of green vegetables is parsley.
My husband can fix any recipe that isn't turning out quite right but he can't follow a recipe worth a damn. I am the complete opposite. I can follow a recipe but when it doesn't taste right or the a sauce isn't coming along correctly I'm lost. We are probably one of the rare copules that gets along in the kitchen (well sometimes anyway).
