Instructions
- Mix pudding and milk: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and thickened to a pudding consistency.

- Pour into molds: Carefully pour the pudding mixture into the popsicle molds or small paper cups, filling them evenly.
- Insert sticks: Place a popsicle stick into the center of each filled mold or cup to serve as handles once frozen.

- Unmold: To release the pudding pops, run warm water briefly over the outside of the molds to loosen them, then gently remove the pops.

- Ensure the pudding mixture is well whisked to achieve a smooth texture in the final pops.
