Key Lime Cookie Butter Pops

 

These popsicles made their debut at last year's summer gathering. The procrastinator in me pushed off getting popsicle molds until the day I made the pops and...well options were limited. The molds were downright awkward so I didn't end up taking any photos of them, but dannnnng were they delicious. Solidly imprinted into the my mind, these delicious pops (which are a very slight variation of smitten kitchen's key lime pops) were begging for me to give them another try.
