While extremely delicious, my first-ever paletas (the mango ones) were not that pretty. I think I let them sit in the warm water for too long and the got this kind of melty, drippy look.
The second time around, I attempted to see if I could do a better job. The water was a little less hot and I only dunked them for about 20 seconds. Look at that! Presto! It worked.
I was extremely excited about these yummy-looking popsicles. Although they turned out to be two different colors, they taste like watermelon through and through. These are so nice and refreshing for those hot summer days.
