CHOCOLATE POPSICLES

This recipe for chocolate popsicles is a "keeper" for those "house full of kids" days. They are not only tasty, but they are inexpensive to make and use every day ingredients from your pantry. If you do not have Popsicle molds, just use 3 ounce waxed paper (bathroom) cups and popsicle sticks (or plastic spoons).


In heavy bottom, medium size saucepan, mix:
3 cups milk
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup corn syrup (light)
1 teaspoon vanilla

Bring to gentle boil on medium high and boil 1 minute (make sure you stir constantly). Remove from heat and add 1 cup of milk chocolate chips, stir to melt.

Pour into Popsicle molds (or 3 ounce waxed paper cups). Freeze overnight.

NOTE: About an hour or so after you put the paper cups into the freezer, insert a Popsicle stick (or plastic spoon) in the center, and return to freezer.

ENJOY !!!
