I love the added depth of flavor that the peanut butter brings to these dairy free, vegan popsicles, and the crunch you get from the mini chocolate chips.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Dairy Free Vegan Popsicles
While we love making berry popsicles, sometimes you just NEED chocolate.
If you're looking to make a batch of chocolate dairy-free vegan popsicles, Almond Breeze Almondmilk Chocolate is an awesome solution. It gives you a soft chocolate flavor without being too rich. You can find Almond Breeze Almondmilk Chocolate in the dairy aisle of your grocery store, next to the other dairy-free milk options.
My kids and I had a lot of fun making these delicious, refreshing Chocolate Peanut Butter Popsicles. A LOT. They're super easy to make, with just a few ingredients.
Popsicle Tips
Have you ever tried to remove a popsicle from the mold, only to have the handle break away from the ice pop? Then you're left trying to get the ice pop back on the handle, or you end up just putting it into a bowl and eating it with a spoon . . . which defeats the purpose of making ice pops, right?
One tip that will help your ice pop release smoothly from the mold is to run the mold under warm water for about 30 seconds. This helps the popsicle loosen from the sides of the mold and release nicely without breaking away from the handle.
Sometimes, though, it's just a matter of having a bad popsicle mold. The kids and I have had bad luck with popsicle molds for the past few years. We've gone through a few different sets, and they kept breaking. Either the popsicle handle was too flimsy or too small, or the molds themselves were flimsy.
We purchased this popsicle set in a fun summery yellow color and I have to say that I think we've hit the jackpot. This ice pop set is sturdy, with a solid base, and it creates a beautiful looking ice pop!
If you wanted to, you could omit the chocolate drizzle in this recipe, and just enjoy these Chocolate Peanut Butter Vegan Popsicles plain, like this:
But that's not nearly as FUN as this:
The kids and I loved drizzling the melted chocolate over the ice pops, which then freezes the chocolate drizzle and creates a fabulous crunchy outer chocolate shell.

Cool! Did not know that about "popsicle"!!
I bet these would be good with full fat coconut milk instead of almond, too!
Marlynn Jayme Schotland says
I bet that would taste good as well!
Jenni says
The drizzle definitely make it more fun! These look fabulous and I bet the flavor of the almond milk adds a ton to the overall flavor of the pop.
Marlynn Jayme Schotland says
I think I've come to the conclusion that the drizzle is truly necessary ;) Thanks, Jenni!
