Cherry Popsicles

I’ve been slightly obsessed with all the popsicle recipes that I’ve seen on Pinterest lately.

I almost bought one of those very cool plastic molds so that I could start trying all the recipes I’ve been drooling over.

For now, I talked myself out of thefourteen dollar purchase and picked up the popsicle sticks at a craft store instead.

I turned this cherry limeade popsicle treat into a decadent dessert by using my dessert shooter glasses to make mini popsicles and dipped them insparkling wine!

Clever right?
