SO GOOD
O M G ! These are the best homemade popsicles I ever had. I used a pkg of Crush Orange jello, orange kool-aid, 2 cups of water and 2 cups of OJ. The best orange popsicles EVER!!!
Fabulous! I used a little less than 1 cup of sugar. This batch made enough for 12 of the pops sized the same as in the picture.
I really enjoy making these. This year I tried berry blue Jell-O and blue raspberry Kool-Aid and it was a great combination. I followed the recipe as is. Everyone in my family enjoys eating these.
We love this recipe!!! I tried lots of others, but this one is by far the best!!! Toddler approved! I did use club soda instead of cold water and it was yummy!
I made this recipe using lemon-flavor Jello and Crystal Lite lemonade drink mix. They were still on the verge of being too sweet for my tastes, but this combo did have a really nice lemony zing. I can’t wait to try different flavor combinations with the next batch.
This is the best recipe I’ve found so far… Definitely need the jello with the kool-laid to get the texture right. The flavor options are limitless! I pre soak my wooden sticks an hour before inserting and let the pops freeze about 2 hrs. Before I add sticks… Then freeze over nite on a cookie sheet. Run a lil warm water over to unmold and put each one in a snack zip bag or cellophane treat bag for storage. (And be QUICK about it as they melt fast!) 😉 then put all the small bags in a gallon slide zip storage bag…. Also I just use a total of 3 cups water…. Stronger flavor that way 😉
These were great! Gelatin makes all kinds of frozen treats softer. I use pudding and gelatin in ice cream all the time. Best to use the non-instant pudding.
Delicious! Like many others, I used to make these as a kid with my mom. However now that I’m a little older I like some other variatiosn – try making them using 2 cups of strong cold tea instead of the water and kool-aid mix (I also cut the sugar, as others have suggested here) – a perfect little afternoon pick-me-up 🙂
These are so good. They have the softer texture of the store bought pops.
These were great! I made them one day while babysitting using household ingredients– Berry Blue Jello and Cherry Pomegranate Crystal Light! Yum!
These taste just like the ice pops my Mom made when I was a kid (at least 40 years ago). I have been looking for this recipe for years! Thanks so much!!!
These were beyond my expectations. I love that the gelatin keeps the pops from melting quickly and they give them a nice texture. I had been making ice pops out of frozen kool aid and these are so much better and the flavor is intense. I did add two packs of kool aid instead of just one and they were perfect.
We made ours with cherry Jell-O and Simply Limeade instead of Koolaid and sugar. Tangy and refreshing. Thanks!
These were great but I recommend cutting the sugar in half and only use 1/2 cup.
Made with grape jello and drink mix. The kids loved them. We made with dixie cups and ate with a spoon.
We just decided that these are the best pops we have ever eaten. Raspberry jello with Cherry Kool Aid was pretty good. Time to hit the grocery store and stock up on all the other flavours. A great recipe for kids at heart.
Growing up in the 50’s-60’s we just put kool-aid in a tall cup with a spoon and froze them. These are much better using the jello – texture and taste. I’ll be making them for my grandkids camp out this weekend – they’ll be thrilled!
These have been a favorite in our family for over 30 years. Raspberry jello abd lemonade drink mix are one of our favorite combos…
I had this as a little girl and we lost the recipe for it. I am glad you have it on here and never knew it was so easy to make. thank you
Grandkid and Grandpa approved!! Very flavorful, easy and fun! A real money saver too, if you have popsicle-aholics, like me!!
