Cheesy Pops

I recently tried Cheddar Cheesies and loved it. I figured it should be possible to make these at home and found this to be really easy actually.

I do feel there is not a huge amount of cost saving when made at home but batches I made at home tasted much better and fresh plus with the added advantage of making these with my own flavours. Both batches I made turned out very delicious indeed.

The one downside is, the huge prep time. Also it did not taste as good as when had on the same day these were prepared, there really is no incentive to make larger batches. Although I must admit I did not store them in a vaccum sealed container and perhaps that might make a difference. That said, I think leaving the cheese to dehydrate overnight is not much of a problem and I can then have these freshly made so I don't think I will bother with testing storage anytime soon.
