It’s hot here, and I’m going to make the kids one of my favorite treats. These look really gorgeous for the Fourth, too (you can add some blueberries if you want some blue in there, too) so I thought I’d offer you guys the recipe. They have roughly a kajillion calories, each, but hey, it’s a holiday. Plus, fresh fruit! You need fresh fruit in your daily diet. :-)

Beat together the following:

1/4 cup honey
1 8 oz pkg of softened cream cheese
1 cup cream, whipped (the real stuff is best)
2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 c sliced banana
1 c sliced strawberries

If you don’t have any popsicle molds, you can use Dixie cups and popsicle sticks or plastic spoons. Fill each cup, put in a stick, and freeze. Tear off the cup when they’re solid, and you’re in for a really yummy summer treat!
