Popsicle Sticks for 4th of July

Growing up, I LOVED eating ice cream. Especially in the summer. I remember as a child, my mother would make us these 4th of July popsicle sticks. She made them only for the 4th of July, however. If you’ve got some time, try to make some for your 4th of July BBQ. It’s also a great way to spend time with your kids. They are so easy enough for your kids to make them.

What you need:

Red, White, and Blue Juices (Cranberry, Coconut, and Blue Kool Aid will work)
Small sized paper cups (3 oz cups will do)
Popsicle sticks
Baking Sheet

What to do:

Line up the cups on a baking sheet.
Pour about 2 tablespoons of cranberry juice into each cup.
Freeze for approximately 2 hours.

Remove from freezer and stick the popsicle sticks in the center of each cup.
Add another 2 tablespoons of coconut juice into each cup.
Freeze for approximately 2 hours.

Remove from freezer.
Add another 2 tablespoons of the blue Kool Aid into each cup.
Freeze until hard.
Once hard, peel off the paper cups and serve.

Enjoy!
