With Summer coming to an end I thought I would share my fun and “cool” LABOR DAY TREAT recipes! I made these cute desserts for a rainbow themed birthday party but they would be a hit at any BBQ, party or get together! AND, they are SIMPLE to make! Find instructions and recipes for my raspberry lemon popsicles & slushie tubes below… SLUSHIE TUBES: I wanted to come up with a different and fun way to use Gumball Candy Tubes so I thought, “what about slushy tubes!” These were so simple to make, and the kids LOVED them!

You will need: 1 Cup Water 1/2 Cup Sweetened Kool-Aid Drink Mix 3 Cups Ice Clear Candy Tubes Straws 1- Place 1 cup water, 1/2 cup of your favorite flavor of Kool-Aid and 1 cup of ice cubes in a blender. Cover and blend on high speed until smooth. 2- Add an additional 2 cups of ice cubes & blend again, until smooth. 3- Pour slushie drink into clear candy tubes & place in a bowl of ice, or serve immediately. Store leftover slush tubes in the freezer. Makes 7 (1/2 cup) servings.

The fun striped paper straws are available in my shop, too.

RASPBERRY LEMON POPS/POPSICLES: Everyone loves a good & cold frozen pop! These creamy raspberry lemon popsicles were so yummy…and SO cute, don’t you think?! Snow Cone Cups {available here} Striped Wooden Spoons {available here}

You will need: 2 Cups Frozen Raspberries 2 Cups Milk 1 Cup Plain Yogurt 2 Tablespoons Sugar 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice Flat Cookie Sheet 8 Snow Cone Cups {available in my shop here} 8 Wooden Spoons 1- Place 8 small plastic or paper cups upright on a flat cookie sheet {child size cups work best}. Put snow cone cups upright inside of the plastic/paper cups {to hold upright while freezing}. 2- Combine raspberries, yogurt, milk, sugar & lemon juice in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. 3- Pour mixture into each snow cone cup. Freeze for 2 hours. 4- Insert sticks into center of mixture. Freeze 5 hours or until firm. 5- Peel away top of snow cone cups as shown and serve! Makes 8 popsicle treats.

I hope you enjoy! Happy Labor Day weekend! xo, Kara
