  We all need to cool it, right? Here are some delicious popsicle recipes and I'll throw in a couple for "adult" fun too. You don't have to, but, it is truly worth it to go out and buy some popsicle molds. You can also use ice trays and disposable small cups you just rip off when frozen. Don't forget to buy your sticks for these! It is best to freeze overnight.
