These pops are much like the "bomb-pops" you used to get from the ice cream man.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: several hours
Here's How:
- Line the cups up close together for pouring.
- Pour 2 Tablespoons of red Kool-aid into each cup and freeze until slushy, but firm enough to hold a popsicle stick upright.
- Remove from freezer and place popsicle stick in the middle of each cup.
- Pour 2 Tablespoons white Kool-aid into each cup and freeze until solid.
- Remove from freezer and pour 2 Tablespoons blue Kool-aid into each cup and freeze until solid.
- Remove from freezer, peel cups away and enjoy!
Tips:
- You can use different colors of Kool-aid for different holidays or just to experiment.
- Other liquids can be used as well. For healthier popsicles, use juices. For active sunny days, use sports drinks.
- When your child is sick, use this recipe with some food coloring and pedialyte.
What You Need:
- Red Kool-aid (cherry, tropical punch, black cherry, etc.)
- White Kool-aid (lemon ice, others vary by season)
- Blue Kool-aid (raspberry reaction, berry blue, ice blue raspberry, etc.)
- Dixie or other 3 ounce cups
