Kale Fudge PopThese rich, indulgent fudge pops get a boost of fiber thanks to a hearty dose of kale. 
Serves 8
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground coriander
2 cups warm water
1 cup torn kale leaves
In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients except kale and add the warm water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes stirring occasionally until the mixture is smooth and thick. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature. Place kale in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Stir the kale into the chocolate mixture and divide it among 8 ice pop molds and insert ice pop sticks.
Freeze for at least 4 hours before serving. The pops will keep for up to 3 weeks in an airtight container in the freezer.
