There’s nothing like coming home to a tasty dessert after a long day at the office. Sure, some people might be more interested in a strong drink, but I like to go with dessert. Why? Because I feel like one drink leads to another which leads to another and that leads to another…you get the point here. Pretty soon, you’re smashed on a weekday and you’re sleeping through your alarm the next morning. And since that means that your day is only going to get worse from that point on, you’ve basically set yourself up for an entire week of alcoholism. Whereas, if you chose dessert instead of booze, you might just show up to work a little bloated the next day.
If you’re going to go the dessert route, then might I suggest the Prepara Volcano 4-Piece Pop Set (Wrapables, $11.95)? It looks like standard popsicle mold set, but it’s tweaked just enough to make it a bit more appealing. For starters, you get four molds in the set, but they’re not all attached, so you can make one, two, three, or all four at a time. Also, the mold itself leaves a small reservoir that allows for additional toppings to be added later. So if you’re using it to make mini pudding pops, maybe you want to had some whipped cream and sprinkles in there. Or perhaps you made some fruit slushies and you want to garnish each with a maraschino cherry – the sky’s the limit. But best of all, there’s a built-in “Sippin’ Lip” that catches any potential runoff from your popsicle.
Now, if you can’t let go of your after work martini routine, then perhaps you can spice it up a bit. Maybe with an alcoholic slushie? I hear they’re the new Jello shots.
4 out of 5 stars.
