Blast into summer with these You’re the BOMB pop Treats!
Summer just wouldn’t be complete without a trip down memory lane. Who else remembers enjoying the iconic rocket-shaped red, white, and blue summer treats?
As kids, we rarely enjoyed a treat from the ice cream truck, but when we did I loved getting a Bomb Pop. So before the summer ends I thought it would be a great idea to celebrate with a special bomb pop treat.
As the temperature rises and the days grow longer, nothing quite hits the spot like a refreshing frozen treat. And what better way to cool down and celebrate the summer season than with the iconic Bomb Pop? Bursting with vibrant colors and bold flavors, Bomb Pops are the quintessential summer indulgence, evoking memories of carefree days spent outdoors and sticky fingers from enjoying every last drop.
One of the reasons I love Bomb Pop is because you can enjoy the multiple cool, delicious flavors all in one pop. Flavor roll call: Cherry? Here. Lime? Yup. Blue raspberry? Oh yeah. It’s the Original, need we say more?
And whether you decide to enjoy yours on a stick or in a fizzy drink you’ll instantly be transported back to your childhood memories and summer dreams.
Free Bomb Pop Printables
I started by making some colorful straw flags to make our treat just a little more festive. Download the FREE printable “You’re the Bomb” straw flags.
Print out the Bomb Pop straw flags and cut them out. Use double-sided tape or glue to attach them to striped paper straws or the bottom of the Bomb Pop stick.
Hand out the Bomb Pops to your super amazing kiddos, and let them enjoy a cool summer treat and a little boost in their confidence.
How to Make Bomb Pop Drinks
Or get extra fancy and make a show-stopper drink. These drinks are a fun way to celebrate, super easy, and would be perfect for a backyard BBQ this summer.
Fill a clear glass with ice and then pour your favorite lemon-lime soda into the glass.
Next add a Bomb Pop, with one of our festive straw flags of course, and a striped paper straw for the ultimate kid-friendly drink.
No matter how you choose to enjoy them, Bomb Pops are sure to add a burst of flavor and fun to your summer festivities. So grab a box of these iconic frozen treats, get creative in the kitchen, and let the summer celebrations begin!
