EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) — On a hot\u00a0afternoon, nothing hits quite like a cold popsicle.\u00a0One El Paso couple makes popsicles as sweet as the story of how they got started.<\/p>\n
“I believe that is, like, in my blood, in my veins. Like anything with a kitchen related. I have to be there,” Betiska Campos, co-owner of Heavenly Popsicles, told ABC-7’s Olivia Vara during the interview. <\/p>\n
Betiska and George are devoted to making popsicles with real ingredients, right here in El Paso.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“When she brought up this one, the Heavenly Popsicle, I just thought it was a great idea,” said co-owner and husband George Arriola.<\/p>\n
“I asked God to give me, this idea to start a new business…I woke up, like, one day in, like, a 3 a.m., and, I had this idea of, like, why don’t I, sell popsicles?” said Betiska.<\/p>\n
They started their business about six years ago in their kitchen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since then, they’ve taken batches of handmade popsicles out to pop-up events and parks across the Borderland.<\/p>\n
But what stands out most\u00a0about these popsicles is the message\u00a0inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“We actually, incorporate different bible verses. so you will see the chapter, the verse and also the actual verse itself,” said George.<\/p>\n
For them, each popsicles carries a small piece of\u00a0their family, culture and faith.<\/p>\n
“We\u00a0want to use our business to bring people to God and have that relationship with them. And it’s just a great way to, yeah, a great way to use our business to serve god with others,” George told ABC-7’s Olivia Vara during the interview. <\/p>\n
