How hard is it to get the shoot to fill the popsicle molds

The best thing to do here is merely put it in a bowl and scoop it into the molds. Here's why...the Yonanas by itself isn't hard enough to make a popcicle that can be pulled out of the mold. I put it in a bowl and add some orange juice or vanilla coconut milk and mix it. The liquid helps the Popsicles firm up enough that it can be pulled out of the mold.

I gave this as a gift. I honestly do not know whether my sister-in-law has had any problems with it. However, I can say that she has not expressed any problems.

Hi! I had the same problem. However what I do is ..place the popsicles by water just for a second...and they easily come out...

When I freeze them I put clips onto the sticks to keep them straight. This makes getting the lid off much easier. I dip it - 2 pops at a time - in a container with warm to hot water. The container is wide enough and deep enough to dip them all the way to the top (that's important, otherwise the bottom will melt and the top will still be stuck). Then I wiggle and tug on the popsicle sticks until I get them out. You can also just let them sit on the counter for a few minutes. The trick is getting them out before they start melting or getting mushy. Good luck!

Heating, pouring, jelling took about an hour as I recall. Could heat and fill molds and then eat cake before unmolding. Might need a few rounds to let each kid have a turn. This could be accomplished using microwave/extra molds.

No I cannot. I tried the popsicle maker 3 x and each time mine came out a mess that I donated 2 of them to Habitat for Humanity. I advise not to waste your money!

A bit late with my response, but just saw this question....went to spam for some reason......I didn't think it was that hard....just make sure to have the cap on, don't overfill and use a spoon to scoop it in.

We have had little success with any type of mixture. The pops just stay stuck in the machine. We are very unhappy with this product. Hope you have better luck.

I have not tried the hard candy yet. I have assembled the two halves, piped chocolate into the hole for the stick and then inserted the stick.

They come as one inseparable batch. Upon freezing, I had to spend a few minutes prying the blue top away from the mold as the sticks don't always stand straight up and down AND it's just hard to pry plastic from frozen popsicles. Then, it was difficult just getting one as you do have to run under cold water for fastest extraction (you can't just soak one mold in a cup either as they're too close). It's a messy process and I found (as long as I ate them fast enough)--a quick wrap in saran wrap or a snack bag and back in the freezer was the easiest way to save myself the dance each time I felt like having one.

Hi, I bought a few sets of these popsicle molds as they are AMAZING! Each mold holds about 3.5 ounces (this is with leaving a little bit of space from the top for the lid). You can fill them as much or as little for a perfect popsicle each time! Enjoy,Nala

Not hard at all. I'm a girl and I got it started after 2 pulls. The remote start is worth the extra money though. Fires right up!

Bend them in the middle until you hear a pop or snap then it will start to glow. Next shake the glow stick to get it going good. Have fun!!!

Also, when the neighborhood kids and my nieces and nephews have eaten the ice candy, if I fill it more than 3 or 4 ounces, they don't finish all of it. And one of my nephews even told me I was filling them too full. I think an average popsicle that you buy in the stores is 3 to 4 ounces. Hope this helps. I love these bags. They are so much fun!

Yes, you will need a stand for the push pops after they are filled. I used a styrofoam block and decorated it with a wide ribbon.

I use a melon baller, that's easier. Fill them up about half way to the top. Make sure to spray them with a cooking spray.

Make sure they set up in the freezer for the recommended 6 hours, then run hot water over the mold for about 20-30 seconds per side, then just pull on the handle slowly but firmly and they will slowly slide out.

I tried it with some little cups and it was hard to get it out, but I'm not sure on Playdoh molds.
