These red, white, and blue pops are fantastic for the 4th of July!

Stir 1 cup of the boiling water into red gelatin and 1/2 cup of the sugar in medium bowl at least 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Mix 1 cup of the cold water and ice to make 2 cups. Add to gelatin, stirring until ice is melted. Pour about 1/4 cup gelatin into each paper cup. Freeze 1 hour. Meanwhile, stir remaining 1 cup boiling water into blue gelatin and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in medium bowl at least 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Mix remaining 1 cup cold water and ice to make 2 cups. Add to gelatin, stirring until ice is melted. Refrigerate 1 hour.

Place about 3 Tbsp. whipped topping over red gelatin in each cup. Carefully pour about 1/4 cup blue gelatin over whipped topping. Freeze about 1 hour or until almost firm. Insert pop stick into each cup for handle. Freeze for 4 more hours or overnight until firm. Place bottom of cup under warm running water for 15 seconds. Press firmly on bottom of cup to release pop.
