In honor of the upcoming July 4 hoo-ha, a nifty frozen treat that will be like a sparkler in your mouth!

No, wait. That sounds dangerous. An explosion of cooling goodness, maybe?

Pick your own metaphor but this recipe for Strawberry-Yogurt Popsicles may be just what you and the small fry need on a July weekend. Unlike the sort you get in a box, you know exactly what is in these treats. Plus, if you have some blueberries on hand, you could go with a whole patriotic thing.

Because that's really what George Washington and friends were fighting for: the right to homemade freezer pops.
