Easy Chocolate Dipped Vanilla Pudding Pops (6) I’ve gotta tell you, it hit me pretty hard this morning when I woke up and realized that my Christmas list must have gotten lost in the mail. Clearly no one answered my #1 on said list; for all Mondays in 2015 to be left out. Tough.

Oh, and chocolate. Although, I hardly need to mention that as it’s a given. Chocolate is absolutely vital if there is going to be any amount of sanity today, for reals.

Don’t worry though, these are just as enjoyable as a way to salute the winter season for those of you up north.

Easy Chocolate Dipped Vanilla Pudding Pops (5) So are you a fan of sweets things dipped in chocolate and then dipped in more sweetness? If so, then you are in luck today because I made these simple frozen pudding pops that only require a little of your time in between freezing and they are so much fun to make with kids. I dipped mine in an assortment of things, sprinkles, peanuts, and even some granola. The topping possibilities are pretty endless. How about M&Ms or candy bar pieces?
