Living on the equator, we experience warm weather year-round. These cold sweets are a favorite after-nap treat with my four children. I like how these pops are easy to make in large quantities.

Ingredients

3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons baking cocoa
4 cups milk
10 freezer pop molds or 10 paper cups (3 oz. each) and wooden pop sticks

Directions

In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, flour and cocoa. Gradually stir in milk until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Cool slightly.
Pour 1/4 cup mixture into each mold or paper cup. Top molds with holders. If using cups, top with foil and insert pop sticks through foil. Freeze until firm. The pops may be frozen for up to 3 months.
