Pumpkin Pie Popsicles Recipe with Cinnamon Chips!
It's well into Fall season here in Western Washington, and of course we are seeing pumpkin flavored everything. I've mentioned before that my for my daughter's birthday (which is in the fall) we always buy her a pumpkin pie instead of a birthday cake. It's her favorite dessert. So I thought it'd be very appropriate to make her pumpkin pie popsicles. She loves making homemade pops and often will put apple juice in our popsicle molds just to have a frozen treat.
