Fudgy Banana Pudding Pops

I found this recipe when I happened to have all the ingredients on hand... Isn't that the most wonderful feeling in the world? :) I mixed these up for the kids to have for snack in the afternoon and they loved them and were asking for more as soon as they finished the first one! But beware - they could end up looking like this! :)





Fudgy Banana Pudding Pops
(recipe found at www.bettycrocker.com)

1 box (4 serving size) chocolate fudge instant pudding and pie filling mix
2 cups fat free milk
1 medium ripe banana
1 container vanilla yogurt
8 waxed paper cups (5 ounces)
8 craft sticks (flat wooden sticks with round ends)

In medium bowl, beat pudding mix and milk with wire whisk about 2 minutes or until well blended. Let stand 5 minutes or until thickened. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mash banana with fork. Stir in yogurt.

Place paper cups in 8" pan for easier handling. Spoon 2 tablespoons pudding into each cup. Divide yogurt mixture evenly among cups. Top with remaining pudding mixture. Tap cups on work surface to level top. Insert wooden stick into center of each pop. Freeze pops about 2 hours or until solid. Store frozen pops in plastic freezer bag in freezer. Peel off paper cups before serving.
