Back to Basics Flute Pop Ice Pop Maker Review

Ever since I was a kid my family has had homemade popsicles. I was quite looking forward to continuing that tradition with this product. I had mixed success. The shape is pretty, as are the colors, and, yes, you can put juice in the molds to freeze with the little handles on top, but then comes the hard part.
The plastic is a bit flimsy to be used around children. This thing would last maybe two or three uses around careless kids.
The molds leaked a sugary concentrate of juice while they were in the freezer, I'd recommend putting a paper towel, plastic wrap, or rag under them in the freezer.
The tongue inside the handle isn't nearly long enough or even shaped correctly to keep hold of the ice once it's frozen, and the mold has a horrible time letting go of its treasure. The best success I've had uses a combination of warm water and squeezing each mold until you can see the air moving around inside; don't pull on the handle until that happens.
The base of the popsicle holder has uncomfortably sharp edges and the "sipping flute" is inefficiently designed, I've spilled just as much melted juice and popsicle as I've enjoyed.
It makes me long for those old popsicle molds we had once. Great design on those things. They were big, blocky, and yellow, but lasted a long time and nobody got hurt.
Will I keep using these? Yes, I have them, might as well get some use. Will I enjoy it? Sadly, not as much as I could.

Progressive International GMMC-68 Microwavable S'Mores Maker Review

I ordered this for my three kids. We love roasting smores on a campfire but do not get to do that too often. When I saw the low Amazon price, I had my doubts. I was still so excited to try this out. It came in and the kids and I tried it for dessert. It was just as easy as promised. It took only 30 seconds to cook the marshmallows evenly and perfectly. The chocolate doesn't really start melting until you take it out of the microwave which is good. It is less messy that way.
I could not recommend this enough. We use ours very regularly. I have already bought three more as Christmas gifts. Wonderful, simple, inexpensive. What more could you ask for? Go get your own!!

Enjoy delicious s'mores indoors with this easy-to-use contraption--no need to wait until summertime camping trips or gathering with friends around a bonfire at the beach. The nostalgia created with these sweet treats can now be savored any time of year and from the convenience of home. Simply fill the reservoir with water, assemble one or two s'mores on the tray by stacking a piece of chocolate and a marshmallow in between two graham-cracker squares, lower the arms to hold in place, and microwave for up to 30 seconds. The heated water allows the graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate to heat evenly, while the arms prevent the marshmallows from over expanding and overcooking, giving the chocolate time to melt. Be careful when removing the s'more maker from the microwave as the water is hot and can spill. The innovative unit creates consistently perfect s'mores--crisp graham crackers neatly holding together soft marshmallow and melted chocolate. A fun addition to sleep overs or birthday parties, the s'more maker measures approximately 7-1/2 by 6-1/2 by 4 inches and cleans up easily by hand or in the dishwasher.
