What do you need for these Yogurt and Strawberry Unicorn Popsicles?
The most difficult part of making these popsicles is purchasing the Unicorn Popsicle mold. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find a mold with more than two unicorns. Well, actually I did find one with 4 but they were itty bitty unicorns. Bite-size lol. I decided to go with the larger unicorns and recommend you purchase 2 or 3 molds total. (click here) to purchase. If you only purchase one mold you can use wooden popsicle sticks for additional unicorn popsicles. They are a bit wider than the white plastic ones that come with the mold. However, they do work ok. They are just harder to insert into the molds.
