Popsicles are a confection made primarily of water, some sugar and food colouring. They melt as they absorb ambient heat and reach a temperature of about 0o C. Due to their shape they have a high surface to volume ratio allowing the rapid influx of heat (Q=UA(T1-T2))

Like most frozen articles the main melting occurs when all of the mass aproaches the melting point.

Aside: In Alaska, Canada, Siberia and other locations with property north of 60o, popsicles may be stored outside on the back deck for up to 8 months of the year with no fear of melting
