Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 packet (unsweetened, any flavor) Kool-Aid powdered drink mix
- 1 box (3 oz, same or complementary flavor to Kool-Aid) Jello instant gelatin mix
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Boiling water
- 2 cups Cold water
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Kool-Aid powdered drink mix, Jello gelatin mix, and granulated sugar.
Carefully pour in 2 cups of boiling water while stirring continuously until all the sugar and gelatin are dissolved. This will take about 2 minutes.
Once dissolved, add 2 cups of cold water and stir well to combine.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly for 5-10 minutes at room temperature to avoid melting popsicle molds.
Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small amount of space at the top to allow for expansion as the mixture freezes.
Insert popsicle sticks into each mold. If the sticks don't stay upright, cover the mold with foil and poke the sticks through for stability.
Freeze the molds for at least 4-6 hours or until the popsicles are fully set.
To release the popsicles, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds and gently pull on the sticks.
Serve immediately and enjoy a refreshing, fruity treat!
