To enjoy, simply remove the popsicle from its packaging. Allow it to thaw for a minute or two if it is very hard, which can make it easier to eat. Then, simply hold the stick and lick or bite into the frozen dessert. It is meant to be consumed directly from the packaging. No preparation is required beyond unwrapping.
How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining popsicles frozen and fresh, store them in the freezer. Ensure they are placed back in their original packaging or a freezer-safe bag to prevent freezer burn. Keep them at a consistent freezing temperature until ready to consume.
