To serve, run popsicle mold under warm water for a 5-10 seconds to easily remove the popsicles

Notes

If you would like the popsicles to be more or less sweet, add or reduce the sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, to your liking.
You can substitute the graham cracker crumbs for other types of cookies like golden oreos, BelVita cookies, gingersnaps, shortbread cookies etc.
Cherries can be substituted for other fruits such as berries, peaches, mango etc. Use ripe fruits for maximum sweetness and flavor.
These pops melt pretty fast so only remove from the freezer when ready to serve.
