Potato Chips: fail???

I made some homemade chips, but forgot to spray with nonstick spray, I think they burned. I bet I left them in the microwave. I'm not going to give up cooking potato chips, I'll try and try until I get it right! They are very crispy, It's hard to eat cause the chips are hard. I bit into one and tasted the burn. Well, apparently 5 minutes was a little to long for me!

Yummy pops

                                                   SMOOTHIE POPS
Make a smoothie. If you don't know how or if you need some ideas just click here or here. Get some popsicle molds. Pour your smoothie evenly into each one. Then get some foil and put it over each one and stick a posicle stick into each mold that's covered. Let pops freeze overnight in freezer. But not the fridge, the freezer.

                                                        PLAIN ICE POPS
Pour cold water into each pop mold.Then follow the instructions from up there. Stick in the freezer for a while and then when you're ready to try one, pull out and enjoy.


                                                    HOT COCOA POPS
Make some hot chocolate and pour into mold. Follow same instructions from above. Enjoy when ready.
TIP: You don't have to warm up the cocoa if you're going to freeze it :)

So, any liquid can be turned into a pop (usually). Have a good day and enjoy your pop!
