I always thought that my rainbow fruit pops were a fancy and fun crowd pleaser for both kids and adults, but I recently saw this collection of flavor combinations that blow mine out of the water. The talented Family Kitchen writers have created flavors like cucumber watermelon and blueberry cheesecake!

I’m feeling the need to step up my game, or perhaps I’ll just make some of the following recipes…
