Author Notes

Our friend Heidi Ott from CraftersCommunity.com gave us this clever Popsicle recipe that\'s easy enough for the kids to make themselves. The color scheme is perfect for 4th of July Celebrations, but they\'re so delicious, you\'ll probably want to serve them all summer long.

Ingredients

red juice (red raspberry, cherry, cranberry)
blue juice (blue Kool Aid, Gatorade, blue raspberry)
white juice (lemonade, coconut juice drink)
red string licorice for fuse

3 ounce paper cups
Popsicle sticks
baking sheet

Instructions

Line up several 3 ounce paper cups on a baking sheet. Pour 2 tablespoons of red juice into each cup. Freeze 2-3 hours until firm-slushy.

Remove from freezer and poke a popsicle stick into the center of each cup of juice. Add 2 tablespoons of white juice and freeze 2-3 hours.

Remove from freezer. Top off with blue juice and freeze 1-2 hours until slushy.

Remove from freezer and insert a 2 or 3-inch string of licorice into each popsicle. Freeze until hard. Peel off paper cups to serve.
