Customize These Hurricane Pops Yourself 

Food coloring, colored icing and a chocolate swirl can take these pops in a whole different direction if you so desired. 

Add a little more personality by mixing some food coloring into the melted white chocolate, or even by swirling in some dark and/or milk chocolate into the bowl before coating the molds. Not to mention you can bring in some different colored icing or even meringue flowers to make these things seriously pop!
