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.

Made this last year for 4th of July party. It was a huge hit even the adults enjoyed it. Planning on making again this year!

Try using colorful straws instead of popcycle stick. Making this is a great excuse to spend more time with my 4 year old grand-daughter.

Fun recipe for kids and very tasty. I changed the recipe for what I had on hand, it still turned out fine. I had sugar-free cherry, no sugar, and no sticks. I substituted less corn syrup for the sugar, no problems. I used plastic spoons instead of sticks, worked fine. I piped the cool whip in the cups to form a perfect seal, no color blending and less messy. I froze the cool whip layer, as someone suggested. Perfect. Will make again...maybe red and green for Christmas. I also used smaller cups and made 24 3 oz size. Good Luck, seems to be a forgiving recipe! A cool tasty treat!

Big Hit! My 3 & 5 yr old loved them and enjoyed helping me make them. Accidentally grabbed 3 oz cups so we made 2 1/2 dozen.

Both of my boys loved this they kept asking for more. They asked me to make it again next July.

We made these for Independence day and they were soooo yummy! The only downside is that if you don't completely freeze the layers in between or pack the cool whip in right the colors will run. But the kids had fun and loved them! (PS serve outside, my kids made a mess, but that was half the fun!)

This is a great summer recipe and it is always nice to have something in the freezer to snack on.
