Red White Blue Frozen Pops Recipes

RED, WHITE & BLUE FROZEN POPS

Steps:

• Combine dry cherry gelatin mix and 1/2 cup sugar in medium bowl. Add 1 cup boiling water; stir 2 min. until gelatin is completely dissolved. Add enough ice cubes to 1 cup cold water to measure 2 cups. Add to gelatin; stir until ice is completely melted. Pour evenly into 16 (5-oz.) paper or plastic cups, adding about 1/4 cup gelatin to each cup. Freeze 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, combine dry blue gelatin mix and remaining sugar in medium bowl. Add remaining boiling water; stir 2 min. until gelatin is completely dissolved. Add enough ice cubes to remaining cold water to measure 2 cups. Add to gelatin; stir until ice is completely melted. Refrigerate 1 hour.
• Spoon about 3 Tbsp. COOL WHIP over red gelatin in each cup; top evenly with blue gelatin, adding about 1/4 cup gelatin to each cup. Freeze 1 hour or until almost firm. Insert wooden pop stick or plastic spoon into center of each cup for handle. Freeze 4 hours or until firm. To remove pops from cups, place bottoms of cups under warm running water for 15 sec. Press firmly on bottoms of cups to release pops. (Do not twist or pull pop sticks.)

RED, WHITE AND BLUE OREO COOKIE POPS

Steps:

• Add the sandwich cookies to the bowl of a food processor and pulse just until roughly chopped. Add the cream cheese and continue pulsing until the mixture is smooth and there are no large visible pieces of cookie.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment. Using your hands, pinch off about 14 pieces of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls. Arrange the balls on the baking sheet then insert a lollipop stick into each and freeze them until hardened, about 20 minutes.
• Once the cookie pops have hardened, place the red candy melts in a small microwave-safe bowl with 2 teaspoons oil if desired (see Cook's Note). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth, about 1 minute. Dip one-third of the chilled cookie pops into the melted red candy melts, shaking off any excess, and then immediately top them with the corresponding red sprinkles.
• Return the cookie pops to the baking sheet (see Cook's Note) and repeat with the blue and white candy melts and the remaining chilled cookie pops.
• Refrigerate all of the cookie pops until their candy melt coating has fully hardened, an additional 5 minutes, then serve.
