Yup.  this totally happened.  And you know what?  these were actually really easy to make.

These healthy Firecracker popsicles have no artificial colors, no added sugar, and can be made vegan.  I used cow’s milk, but any type of milk can be used.   The only sweetener is fruit.

I am afraid that these aren’t exactly like the real thing.  You see, I have never seen a blue raspberry in my life.  So I used blueberries instead.

If you want to make homemade popsicles this summer, I highly suggest buying some silicone popsicle molds.  They are not expensive, and you can get really creative with them.   I use these.

When I made these popsicles, I made 1 layer at a time and then froze that layer.  Each layer only took a few minutes to make.  So, all in all, these pops didn’t require much prep time.

If I were to make these again, I would add some lemon juice to the blueberry mixture.   Also, the red layer does not have to be strawberry.  It can be cherry or raspberry.
