These Mexican popsicles should change the way you feel about popsicles (if you are over the age of 5). Some are made with fresh fruits often embedded whole right in the pop; others have a milk base combined with fruits or even Oreo cookies. The “esquimal” version is coated with chocolate and sometimes nuts. A vast array of wrapped pops is displayed in a long cooler with little in the way of labeling. A “cheese and raspberry” version combined a cheesecake-like frozen exterior with a raspberry-heavy fruit interior; a “mango” version turned out to be sweet-spicy-salty, with chamoy and tamarind in addition to chunks of mango.
