Hypno-Ring Yogurt Pops!

Recipe Inspired by Dav Pilkey’s The Adventures of Captain Underpants

by Alexie Basil and Langston Payne

W02-05CUFAB-june17-header-1030x580

After reading The Adventures of Captain Underpants, we couldn’t stop thinking: We gotta have that Hypno-Ring! Unfortunately, a fully functioning one only exists in the story….

 

So we’ve concocted the next best thing: your very own delicious—and delightfully healthy!—Hypno-Ring Yogurt Pops. They might not hypnotize any principals, but they’ll definitely entrance some snack-loving kids this summer!

 

You’re getting huuuuuuungggggrryyyyyyyyyy. 

 

BEFORE YOU START

Brainstorm the perfect hypnotic flavor! Here are some we came up with:

• Rainbow Breakfast: plain Greek yogurt, 2% milk, and fruity pebbles    

• M&M Swirl: vanilla Greek yogurt, 2% milk, and M&M'S    

• Traditional Black and White: vanilla Greek yogurt and chocolate chips    

Of course, fruits are also a delicious option!

• Berry Cream: vanilla Greek yogurt, 2% milk, and blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries 

 

YOU WILL NEED

• Ring pop molds (available online)

• 6 ounces of Greek yogurt (plain, vanilla, strawberry—whichever you prefer)

• Special toss-ins (2 tablespoons Fruity Pebbles, M&M’S, fruit, etc.) 

• 1 cup 2% milk

• Mixing bowl

• Spoons

• Freezer

PRO TIP: Run a little hot water over the outside of the molds if the pops are sticking.

A Note from Judy

Dragons are huge fans of tacos—as long as they don’t have one secret, spicy ingredient! The Book of the Week is the laugh-out-loud, fun-to-read-together picture book Dragons Love Tacos, written by Adam Rubin and illustrated by Daniel Salmieri!

Dance to an original song with the Book Boys; discover the many ways that one first grade teacher uses Dragons Love Tacos with her students in Book Talks; read an exclusive interview with Adam Rubin in Behind the Scenes; and download a free printable “Dragons Love My Tacos!” recipe activity in Cooked Up from a Book that also helps students practice sequencing.

We hope that your younger readers have a blast with Dragons Love Tacos—and remember: no salsa!
