Jello & Kool-Aid Popsicles

With the hot weather here already, it is nice to have a frozen treat or two ready to beat the heat.  These popsicles are very flavourful and  almost drip free which is great when making them for the little ones! I can remember my ex mother-in-law making these every summer for my kids and their cousins.  The kids (and adults) loved them! It was that memory that prompted me to make them yesterday.

I also made my version of Iced Coffee yesterday, another great treat on a hot day!

There are only 3 ingredients to make these…. well 3 ingredients plus water!

I made mine in a really big measuring cup because it is much easier to actually hit the popsicle molds with it than a bowl!

I started by whisking together the Jello powder, Kool-Aid powder and sugar.

I added 2 cups boiling water and mixed it for about 2 minutes, making sure the sugars and powders were fully dissolved, before adding the 2 cups of cold water.

I poured the mixture into my clean popsicle molds….

Put the handles onto the molds and then placed them in the freezer until they were fully set before enjoying them!

A quick and easy summer time treat!
