Homemade Fudgsicles

It's embarrassing that someone who tries as many new recipes as me hasn't had a decent one to post in a while.  Here is a little kid-friendly treat that we really liked from this month's  Kraft Foods magazine.  I used regular pudding mix and whole milk (yikes! How many of those did I eat?), and they were really good.  I'll let you know how they turn out with sugar-free and skim.

Cookies and Creme Pudding Pops

makes 9 servings

1 pkg. (3.9 oz.) Chocolate Instant Pudding

2 cups cold milk

6 Oreo cookies

1/2 cup thawed Cool Whip 

Beat pudding mix and milk in large bowl with whisk 2 min.  Place cookies in resealable plastic bag, and use a rolling pin to crush the cookies.  Add cookies and Cool Whip to pudding; stir just until blended.  Spoon into 9 mini paper or plastic cups.  Insert wooden pop stick or plastic spoon into each for handle.  Freeze 5 hours or until firm.  Tip:  To remove from cup:  place bottom of cup in bowl of warm water for 15 sec.  Press up on bottom of cup.
