What Do You Need to Make Homemade Popsicles?
I mean, come on, who hates it when a plastic stick goes missing, and you're running through the kitchen looking for it? I despise playing hide-and-seek with the reusable sticks because I end up looking like a crazy lady searching for them.
If you have a preferred mould, use it. In essence, they are all the same, so long as you have a popsicle at the end of the day.

- To Remove Popsicles: Let the mould stand on the counter for a few minutes. Run the popsicle mould under lukewarm water to help loosen. If you have a silicon mould you can pull and stretch it to release the popsicles.
