Ingredients:
1 pkg. (3 oz.) cherry flavored gelatin
1 c. sugar, divided
2 c. boiling water, divided
Ice cubes
2 c. cold water, divided
1 pkg. (3 oz.) berry blue flavored gelatin
1 tub (8 oz.) frozen whipped topping, thawed

Directions:
Combine dry cherry gelatin mix and 1/2 c. sugar in a medium bowl.  Add 1 c. boiling water; stir 2 minutes until gelatin is completely dissolved.  Add enough ice cubes to 1 c. cold water to measure 2 cups.  Add to gelatin; stir until ice is completely melted.  Pour evenly into 16 (5 oz. each) paper or plastic cups, adding about 1/4 c. gelatin to each cup.  Freeze 1 hour.

Meanwhile, combine dry blue gelatin mix and remaining sugar in a medium bowl.  Add remaining boiling water; stir 2 minutes 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. whipped topping over red gelatin in each cup; top evenly with blue gelatin, adding about 1/4 c. gelatin to each cup.  Freeze 1 hour or until almost firm.  Insert a wooden Popsicle stick or plastic spoon into center of each cup for a handle.  Freeze 4 hours or until firm.  To remove pops from cups, place bottoms of cups under warm running water for 15 seconds.  Press firmly on bottoms of cups to release pops (do not twist or pull sticks).
