What You Need

pkg. (4-serving size) JELL-O Cherry Flavor Gelatin

cup sugar, divided

cups boiling water, divided

Ice cubes

cups cold water, divided

pkg. (4-serving size) JELL-O Berry Blue Flavor Gelatin

tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed

Make It

COMBINE dry cherry gelatin mix and 1/2 cup of the sugar in medium bowl. Add 1 cup of the boiling water; stir at least 2 min. until gelatin is completely dissolved. Add enough ice cubes to 1 cup of the cold water to measure 2 cups. Add to gelatin; stir until ice is completely melted. Pour evenly into 16 (5-oz.) paper or plastic cups, adding about 1/4 cup of the gelatin to each cup. Freeze 1 hour.

MEANWHILE, combine dry blue gelatin mix and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in medium bowl. Add remaining 1 cup boiling water; stir at least 2 min. until gelatin is completely dissolved. Add enough ice cubes to remaining 1 cup cold water to measure 2 cups. Add to gelatin; stir until ice is completely melted. Refrigerate 1 hour.

SPOON about 3 Tbsp. of the whipped topping over red gelatin in each cup; top evenly with blue gelatin, adding about 1/4 cup of the gelatin to each cup. Freeze 1 hour or until almost firm. Insert wooden pop stick or plastic spoon into center of each cup for handle. Freeze an additional 4 hours or overnight. To remove pops from cups, place bottoms of cups under warm running water for 15 sec. Press firmly on bottoms of cups to release pops. (Do not twist or pull pop sticks.) Store leftover pops in freezer.

I'm going to try this recipe because we love popsicles & ice cream bars in my house but I do not see the need for the additional sugar! The jell-o is sweet enough on it's own... I will be using the sugar-free kind anyway.

Very easy and impressive. Every kid on our block wanted at least two of them, and then the parents got in on it. They were gone before I had the chance to have anything except a lick from my daughters. It was good!

These popsicles were fabulous and festive. The creaminess of the cool whip with the popsicle made it unbelievably good. My sister and I made these last summer for our 4th of July party. We had a lot of little kids attend, so we used small bathroom size dixie cups instead of the larger cups. It made a ton of popsicles and the kids, and adults, loved them!!

these were great. they will surely be a 4th of july treat every year. my kids love them and when they were gone they asked for more but im saving them for a special treat only on the 4th. the cool whip did float to the top but i think that's cause i didnt wait long enough for the bottom cool whip to freeze. you have to follow the directions to the letter. dosnt matter tho they still taste great!!!! a real hit craft, good job!!!!!

I made these in 3 oz. dixie cups, so they are perfect for my little ones. My husband and 3 year old think they are awesome, but my 1 1/2 year old would probably be happier if it was just frozen Cool Whip on a stick. She just digs all the Cool Whip out with her fingers before eating the rest of the popsicle. You can imagine the mess that makes!!! :)
