Late Night Snacksicles.
OH HI.
It’s popsicle week!
Can I hardly even wait to tell you about these SNACKSICLES? No. I cannot.
Thank goodness it’s Monday. (for once.)
So, popsicle week is an actual thing. It was started by Billy of Wit and Vinegar (do you know Billy? You should know Billy. He is hilarious and creates things of beauty like this and only the best GIFS to ever grace the internets) and I believe that this is the third year running. It’s my first year participating though, because I’m no fun.
At least I’m fun this year!
No fun the last two years. Bah.
What’s in a late night snacksicle? ALL the sweet and salty things. Lots of them. Buttery crackers, salty pretzels, chocolate m&m’s and big, fat peanut butter cups. Swirled and smushed into a vanilla bean graham ice cream base.
Whyyyyy did I have to buy so many for the pops because now it’s midnight and I just want to go on a massive PB cup binge. STAY AWAY FROM THE CUPS.
I was semi-inspired by that late night snack Ben and Jerry’s flavor as well as this munchies ice cream flavor. And who doesn’t want to eat all the snacks, all the time?
Can so very rarely have sweet without salty.
It’s a sickness. I swear. You get me, right?
You can make these snacksicles two different ways. First, you can make the vanilla graham base and smash all the ingredients inside, then fill the molds. The popsicle result will come out like the photo right there above – all swirly and together and stuff.
OR. You can fill the molds with layers of the ice cream based and crushed snacks. You can see that way below! It results in a popsicle that has chunks of snacks for a big surprise bite.
Oh oh oh. ALSO.
We made a leeeeettle video.
Yes. I say WE because Eddie and I did it together and managed to not file for divorce (yet). This is huge for us, but especially for him because he’s still all “like what the heck is facebook?” and “wait, what do you mean this baloney you put on the internet is your job? Um no.”
So we kinda sorta took a stab at video-ing the process of me making these snacksicles for the fortieth time.
For selfish purposes, of course. We really want to start making more videos of Max + summer time fun + life that aren’t just on our phones so we can have them down the line (think old school, giant video camera life) for memories. And I may share one here or there over on crumbs if we actually do this thang, but we shall see.
For today, it’s all about popsicles. And snacks! Snacky popsicles. I declare this summer this summer of snacksicles. If you make these snacksickles (and/or popsicles) this week, make sure to tag your ‘sicles with #popsicleweek! And with #howsweeteats, duh.
Popsicles for life.
Late Night Snacksicles
Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
- 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2/3 cup half and half
- 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
- 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 big handful ritz crackers, crumbled
- 1 big handful pretzels
- 4 or 5 peanut butter cups, chopped
- 2/3 cup mini m&m’s
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the milks and vanilla bean paste. Stir in the graham crumbs with a spatula. Fill the popsicle molds about 1/4 of the way full, then crumbed in a few pieces of crackers, pretzels, peanut butter cups and m&m’s. I repeat this a few times until the mixture reaches the top – just make sure there is liquid in the entire mold to “hold” the snacks in!
- Freeze the pops for one hour, then after an entire, stick a popsicle stick down into the milk. Freezer for 4 to 6 hours, or overnight. To release the pops, set the mold in a bowl/pan/dish/tub of warm water for 30 to 60 seconds. Gently pull out the popsicles!

No I really can’t.

These are good and bad in so many ways. Love the video and the sweet little baby hand that makes a cameo! :)
These are perfect for late night snacking, when wife is nagging (just a bit) and I’m cranky from working on her DIY projects all day (teacher ~ home for the summer!) Sweet and salty is always the way to go and I haven’t seen anything like this in the frozen food section of our local grocery store. Love this!
Oh god. These are epic. LOVE!! And the video is perfection!! Those chubby baby hands slay me <3
OMG that video! I DIE.
And I also die x 100 over these snacksicles. Is it wrong that I kind of want to eat them for breakfast because I can’t wait for late night!
Pinned!
Snacksicle bandit = made my day. So sweet!
I totally did the exact same thing (spilling one precious popsicle) when I was making a batch last week. Why are those stands so fragile?!
Love the video – so fun! And absolutely dying over the snacksicles. All my favorite things (except bacon) in such a small space. So perfect.
This video is awesome (and adorable!).. I can’t wait to (try to) make these. Thanks for sharing.
SELL THESE. Please and thank you.
Oh. My. Goodness. This is the best idea ever, and they sound so delicious too! And that video is absolutely adorable, loved the little snacksicle bandit cameo, too cute!
Gahhhh Max’s little chubby hand trying to snatch a popsicle was too cute!!! Where did you get your popsicle molds? I picked up the IKEA ones but they haven’t worked out so great (womp womp)
These look AMAZING. I will have to make soon! And the snacksicle bandit was TOO CUTE! Great video. Loved it!
You did whaaaaaaat?!? AH! These are the best thing EVER. Holy smokes!
This is AMAZING. Recently found out I’m pregnant with #2 and the only things I’ve been craving come from your blog. Wanna just come live with me? My daughter can entertain your babe. I’ll do your laundry or something?
Oh my YES! These are absolutely brilliant!
WHAT. I have zero words right now. Zero words. OK maybe just one… GIMME!
#stonersicles would have been appropriate as well.
OBSESSED. I need theeeeeese. (And loved the video!)
Max!!! Ahhhhh! <3
I can’t even deal.
Loved the video!! These look like the prefect popsicles for summer!!
OMG why do you call them late night snacksicles, it will be more appropriate to call them ALL TIME snacksicles, I die, I need one right now, like omg those pretzel and PB cups, I can’t stay away.
May I ask what application you use to edit your video? many thanks.
Love the video! So simple and dangerously delicious! Also … snacksicles? BRILLIANT!
My question is this: how would I ever wait to freeze those things individually instead of just going at the mix with a spoon immediately? I’ve heard of this “self-control” thing, but I don’t know if I believe it exists.
WHAAA??? BEST! Love that cute little video, too!
These look absolutely heavenly! I must make these ASAP!!!
Oooo! Love the video! I want these right now. I think I’ll make a frozen yogurt base so I can convince myself they’re healthy.
Oh hai that pic with the PB cup in the side with the bite out of it? Yeah, I’m about that. Clapping hands confetti pop fat lady singing the whole shebang.
These are crazytown, in the best way possible.
These look AMAZING!! Love how easy popsicles are, and Late Night Snack is one of my favorite ice cream flavors!
WHAT the WHAT! These look amazing!!! I cannot wait to make them! Yum!!
Oh. em. gee. !!!! These look amazing and I LOVE the video.
OMG these look INSANE. I would eat like 15 in one sitting. Would love for you to check out my grilled pizza recipe!!

You made a videooo!!!!! Totally impressed!!!!!!!!!!!
You made a video!! Love it. And I was no fun the last two years too, but now I’m fun this year. Ha ha! These pops are awesome – like the best part of watching a movie!
Popsicle week is a thing?! I’m a little late to the party, apparently. We’ll call it fashionable late. Sounds better. Umm. Dying over these popsicles. And the adorable baby hand trying to get into late night ice sticks of heaven. So cute!
Love the video and the snacksicles!! I’m going to make these for a BBQ this weekend!

Did you….make these….just for me? Jess, you’re so generous, you really shouldn’t have. Ok, I know you didn’t do that, BUT I WANT THEM AND I LOVE THEM !
GAH these popsicles are EVERYTHING. And I thought the flavor I came up with (to be shared later this week ;) ) was good. This is amazing so amazing I can’t even. And your video! LOVE it. <3
Oh man! These can be dangerous :) So much YUMMM!
These look amazing! Any suggestions on substitute for coconut milk? Allergy issue. Thanks!
Maybe heavy cream? Or double sweetened condensed milk?
If we were real life friends I would eat all those bits you dropped on the counter.
Omg!! Why did I have to see this!!! The torture! Lol.
I would love to eat these for a late night snack! All the candy chunks in there sound fabulous :)
Um this is the best invention ever. As a preggo going on my 6th month with 95 degrees heat, I want to come raid your freezer.
that video is awesome!! It reminds me (in a good way) of those videos they did on sesame street when we were little. love love love.
And these look good. I might need to make these.
Just found your website and your pics are insane!!! Sooo good!!!!
