Today marks the first official day of spring! And though there’s still bits of snow on the ground, I truly couldn’t be more excited. This winter has been a long one and though it doesn’t feel over quite yet, the days are getting longer, the weather warmer and for that, I’m excited. To celebrate? Rootbeer float popsicles, of course! I whipped these babies up during a particularly warm day last week and have since decided that they’re the perfect way to embrace the upcoming season. I have a feeling my popsicle moulds will be getting quite the workout in the coming months.
Yields 12 The perfect summer treat!
