1⁄4 cup sugar
2  tsp. fresh lemon juice

1. Heat mango juice, sugar, lemon juice, and 1⁄2 cup water in a 1-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat and stir until sugar dissolves. Transfer mixture to a bowl and refrigerate until chilled. 

2. Stir chile powder and cubed mango into the chilled mixture and pour into eight 3-oz. ice-pop molds. Insert a Popsicle stick into each mold and freeze until pops are solid, about 3 hours more. To release ice pops from molds, run the bottom of the molds briefly under cold water.

Easy to make, but I don't think I'm a fan of the chile powder. IF I made them again, I would use less. Not sure I will make again though.

These were nice. Easy to make. I'm a big fan of the fruit/ chile seasoning combination. I'll make more of these, especially after just having bought the book, "Paletas."

Very easy! I didn't have any ancho on hand, but I substituted 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper and the resulted tasted like the chile-covered candies of my youth! Thanks!
