A couple of years ago I saw Chef Dominic Palazzolo, founder and inventor of Make Your Own Molds,  on Martha Stewart’s TV show talking about his silicone food-safe mold making kits and products.

3:2:1. That’s all you need to know about how to make gummy candy whether you want to create gummy worms, gummy bugs, or a big gummy bear! The ratio 3:2:1 is by the tablespoon sugar:water:gelatin plus a pinch of flavoring. That’s pretty much it for the recipe, but to create the shapes, creatures, or everyday [...]

Pumpkin Bourbon Dulce Le Leche Sherbet from Today Show Halloween Segment

Thumbnail image for Pumpkin Bourbon Dulce Le Leche Sherbet from Today Show Halloween Segment

Dulce le leche, a soft caramel made by slowly heating milk and sugar, is absolutely magnificent paired with the autumn flavors of pumpkin, brown sugar, and bourbon! To balance the gooey wisps of caramel in this spiked dessert, I decided to go with a sherbet as opposed to an ice cream as sherbet is, basically, [...]

After eating a bag of candy corn (you must understand that thorough experimentation is needed for the perfect recipe), I decided that Baileys, liquid gold, cream of the Gods, was the ideal liqueur for these frozen push pops. This Cocktail Pop concoction is a simple one but with its Halloween candy theme, sure to be [...]

Bananas Foster Fudgesicle Cocktail Pops

This recipe was one I wanted to create for my recent Today Show appearance, but it didn’t make it on the show. It is one of my favorites as the rummy, caramel sauce from the Bananas Foster is mixed into the fudge and it’s just scrumptious. 1 tablespoon butter 1/4 cup golden brown sugar 2 [...]

Vodka Rainbow Pop Shots from Today Show

Perhaps the best part of this recipe is that the rainbow pop shot glasses are made with Crystal Light Lemonade, so these are diet and delicious! I experimented quite a bit trying to perfect the ice shots and what I found was that the mold is really important. A flexible Silicone mold is definitely the [...]

Frozen Soused Strawberry Shortcake Push Pops from Today Show

Thumbnail image for Frozen Soused Strawberry Shortcake Push Pops from Today Show

This recipe is ridiculously easy, and ridonkulously good.  The great thing about push pop molds is that they have somewhat of an airtight seal at the bottom so you can add a nice amount of liquid without it leaking out. Amaretto-soused pound cake, topped with strawberries and whipped cream…beyond good. 1lb. loaf pound cake, cut [...]
