These are awesome my mom used to make them for me when I was a kid. One thing I like to do is make several different flavors all at once, so I mix all the powders and sugars together then divide mixture between four ziplock bags.I do this with four different flavors then I keep it premixed in the cupboard ready to add boiling water. That way I can have four different flavors at the same time, and have more ready to go for later.

This tasted like the traditional ice pops you get at the grocery store. I used 4 of those individual fruit punch KoolAid packets (the ones that you are supposed to throw in your water bottle) and omitted the sugar (they already have it). Also, used sugar-free strawberry Jello. Very good for cooling off on a hot day. Note: recipe made 12, not 6 popsicles.

Good. Very sweet, though; I will cut back by 1/4-1/3 cup in the future. Big hit w/ the kids and fun to experiment with different flavors.

I was surprised at how much of a real popsicle this tasted. It was a bit on the sweet-side even after reducing the sugar to 3/4 C. Next time I'll reduce further to 2/3 C. I used the blue Koolaide and blue Jell-O.

This recipe was a godsend when my sick 2 year old and my sick husband were fighting over the last of the red popsicles. I used cherry gelatin, and since I didn't want to make a special trip to the store for drink mix, I used one single serving sleeve of cranberry-pomegranate sugar-free mix (the kind that flavors a 16 oz. bottle of water). Since that was sweetened with Splenda, I reduced the sugar to a scant 1/2 cup. This does make more than 8 popsicles - made 8 popsicle sized pops, and many, many dixie cup sized ones!

These were smashing! I bought some ice pop molds from IKEA which are hard to remove the pop from. I'll go back to my mom's dixie cup/stick method.

After tasting how sweet the first batch was, I added about 1 cup of extra water to the recipe. Doing so means this recipe makes about 20-24 standard size pops. We have a set from Tovolo. Even after adding the extra water, the pops are similar in texture to the store bought variety--not hard like an ice cubes. My 3-year-old and husband love them!

When growing up as a kid (in the 50's & 60's), mama made these in her metal ice cube trays. If she was out of popsicle sticks, she would improvise & use toothpicks.

These sound great! If using little cups after pouring in the liquid, wrap the tops with foil and poke the sticks in. That way you don't have to wait until they partially freeze. Stick them in and forget about them and the sticks will already be in them.

Fabulous substitute for ice cream. My pops had a creamy consistency. I used black cherry KoolAid and cherry sugar free Jello. Terrific for dieters. =) Thanks for the recipe!

My grandma used to make this same recipe for us when we were kids. We absolutely loved them! Now I make them for my own kids and they love them as well! I make them in 3 0z dixie cups and put the sticks in after 2 hours.

I found this exact recipe on another web site. I made these last night, but I used Watermelon Cherry Kool-Aid along with a Watermelon JELL-O gelatin. With all the new varieties that Kool-Aid and JELL-O gelatin has come out with lately, making home-made popsicles now-a-days is so much fun. Can't wait to make them for my granddaughter. She'll think her grandma makes the best popsicles in the whole world. Bea, I hope your recipe catches on. "Thank You"!!!

These are great and my son loved them...but the recipe made FAR more than would fit in my 8 count mold. I need to buy at least two more I think. Makes quite a bit. We used Berry Blue jello and Blue Moon berry Koolaid.
