# DIY: Calming Fudge Pops

**Published:** 2024-06-19

Make DIY Calming Fudge Pops with simple ingredients and Cocoa Calm for a rich, chocolatey frozen treat the whole family can enjoy.

It’s a hot summer day, all the kids in a 10-mile radius are full of energy, and you just need a cool, refreshing snack…you know, to serve the kiddos 😉! Don’t worry; we won’t tell them it’s as much for us as it is for them!

Stress has a way of sneaking in and threatening to overwhelm us fast. That’s why purposeful and healthy snacks and treats are so helpful. Why not cool down physically AND mentally?

##### **About the Ingredients**

Before we get started, you'll need our[** Cocoa Calm**](https://earthley.com/products/cocoa-calm).

[**Cocoa Calm**](https://earthley.com/products/cocoa-calm) promotes total body wellness, gut health, and supports your body’s stress response! We combine all-natural, non-alkalized, antioxidant-rich cocoa powder with three key adaptogens (ashwagandha root, schisandra berry, and eleuthero root) to provide you with a powerful, yet gentle, nutrition and stress supplement.

Adaptogens are herbs that help our body respond to stress to find our calm and relax better. Adaptogens are vital for a system that is on high alert and has high levels of cortisol.
