Plus, these hot weather treats require only three ingredients, so they’re easy to whip up when you’re melting outside.

1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

1 can (540 ml) cherry pie filling, divided

Directions

2. Spoon half of mixture into eight 1/2 cup freezer pop moulds (about 3–4 tbsp into each); spoon remaining cherry pie filling and remaining mixture overtop. Insert freezer pop sticks, and freeze until solid, about 4 hours.

3. To unmould, run hot water over surface of mould for a few seconds until pops pull out. makes 8 freezer pops.
