Everyone thinks of ice cream in the summer, but really I don’t think anything is more quintessentially summer than a popsicle.
It’s so inviting, with its portability and ease. You don’t need spoons or cups. No need to struggle with scooping ice cream that’s too hard and then melty because it’s too soft. You just grab a popsicle and go. Go for a walk. Go watch TV. Go sit on the deck. Go enjoy summer and life.
Popsicles last longer than ice cream too. I can demolish a scoop of vanilla in like five bite, but a popsicle makes you slow down and work for it. It’s the best job ever, really, calmly licking an icy cold treat.
The flavors are endless too. I’ve always been a huge fan of fruity popsicles and grew up on creamsicles, but I had never made my own. I was excited to have fun with one of my all-time favorite flavor combinations – peanut butter and marshmallow.
This is perhaps more like a pudding pop – a good thing, since it’s half ice cream half popsicle. The creamy peanut butter mixes with the gooey marshmallow and some Reese’s Pieces add a bit of crunch.
To make these even easier, I made them in Dixie cups. No need to go out and buy molds, just fill up the cups, stick a plastic spoon in the center, and freeze them. When you’re ready to eat, peel away the cup and you have a perfect popsicle.
My friends at Peanut Butter and Co have offered to give two jars of Smooth Operator Peanut Butter to one lucky reader.

Favorite frozen treat is probably ice cream, but these look pretty good too! Absolutely love the pb/fluffernutter combo
My fave frozen treat is probably Ben and Jerry’s Peanut Butter cup ice cream. Love that peanut butter!
What a great idea! I agree popsicles are so much fun to eat, and definitely last longer. This is terrific — thanks so much.
My favorite frozen treat is ice cream. Chocolate and dk cherry with chocolate chunks. Never tried peanut butter ice cream though. So this one I’ll have to try next.
Ahhh I love that you put reeses pieces in there too!
We are huge ice cream eaters, so this is definitely something we are going to try! You are so right that popsicles last longer than ice cream. We have learned that the hard way – in terms of brain freezes AND calories 😉 Thanks for the recipe! http://www.ourfoodieappetite.com/traveling-to-dubai-20-things-we-wish-we-knew-part-1/
I love frozen Snickers bars.

Reeses Pieces have gluten in them. It is a bit confusing because m&m’s are gluten free and Reeses Peanut Butter Cups are gluten free as well but the Pieces are not.
I just double checked the Hershey’s website to be sure, and they say Reese’s Pieces are indeed gluten free.
My favorite frozen treat is an ice cream sandwich!
