- 1/4 cup of vanilla coconut milk

1 peanut butter popsicle:
- 2 tablespoons of regular PB2
- 1/4 cup of vanilla coconut milk
- 1/2 tablespoon of cacao nibs (sweetended or unsweetended)

Step 2: Mix It Up!
Shake the coconut milk well and use a spoon to stir in the PB2. After the liquid is smooth, add the chopped candy or cacao nibs
Step 3: Pour Into Molds
Pour the mixture into the molds. For extra fanciness, add a few cacao nibs or candy pieces to the base of the popsicle. Freeze for a minimum of 4 hours. These molds were tricky to remove the popsicles from, but perhaps paper Dixie cups would work better.
Step 4: Eat Up!
Remove from the molds with the help of a butter knife, if needed. Enjoy your not-so-hard work!
