Jell-O Popsicles Recipe – This post contains affiliate links and by making a purchase I may receive a small commission.
Jell-O comes in so many yummy flavors (hello… have you tried the Jolly Rancher flavors!?) and I have been trying to find the perfect way to use it to make Jell-O popsicles.
When my boys and I made this batch we nailed it! The Jell-O popsicles were easy to make and when they started to melt they just become a Jell-O consistency on the stick instead of running down the stick making a melty mess! We will be making these quite often this summer and next time I am trying them with fruit!
SEE THE Jell-O Popsicle MELT TEST and Q&A’s HERE!This recipe created a lot of buzz and questions.
Read the comments below as many of them are also answered there.
Jell-O Popsicles
- 3 oz package of Jell-O
- 4 cups of water
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar optional
-
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil. In a medium bowl mix sugar and Jell-O powder. Stir in boiling water, stirring constantly until Jell-O and sugar are completely dissolved (about 2 minutes).
-
Stir 2 cups of cold water into bowl and then pour mixture into popsicle molds.
-
Put the popsicles into the freezer until completely frozen.
This made about 40 ounces and we had 8 ounces left after filling our 10 slot popsicle mold.

Could you use Stevia as a sub for the sugar?
Ooh, the fruity jello popsicles were my favorite when I was a kid! The pudding pops were ok too, but it was the fruit ones that I adored. Sadly, I haven’t seen those in many years, so I’m extra excited to try your recipe!
Dont they need to be put in the freezer after you mix everything together? I dont see that in the directions?
I DID THIS AND IT CAME OUT LIKE NORMAL JELL O ?????
Really?? But you maybe right now that I think about it. I think you need to thin out the jello so more water than the package says. You cant go wrong with adding more water. Think about it they are like iced water so using jello adds the sweetness to the frozen water and flavor. Try it again but dont use there directions and tasted the liquid to see if its sweet enough. Let me know how it turns out.
THANK-YOU FOR SHARING. I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT IF JELL-O COULD BE — USED TO MAKE POPSICLE'S OR NOT. WE — USED TO MAKE JELL-O PUDDING FUDGESICLES WHEN I WAS A KID.
We made these when I was a child and again for my daughter, but we also put a pkg of unsweetened kool-aid in as well, and not as much sugar. They are more tart, with more flavour.
Sugar it is in every thing but when it comes to kids I want them to be healthy I tried them without the extra sugar they taste fine try it
These sound really good!
I would be honored to have you hop over and share with us at Tip Me Tuesday {http://www.tipjunkie.com/post/no-bake-recipes-add-yours/}
I agree, what is the purpose of the added sugar?
maybe because the recipe asks for twice the water than just preparing the jello regularly, I think…
Because you only live once and sugar is awesome.
where did you get those Popsicle molds? 🙂
Amazon 🙂
Any department store. Some grocery stores no need to spend extra money at Amazon.
Dollar stores usually have them in season …summer. You could get your Jello while you are there,too.
I am wondering why is all the extra sugar necessary?
I'm wondering about this as well, Jell-O is sweet enough on its own, does the sugar serve any purpose other than extra sweetener?
We made these without sugar as kids and it makes them tarter which I prefer
Add Koolaid to the Jello. Only add 1 cup of sugar and 2 cups of hot water, dissolve, then add 2 cup of cold water. Perfect! I've been making them for 40 years!
About how much Koolaid do add to your Jello?
the whole single package if you can find them
How much Koolaide?
I wonder if these would work with Splenda…
OMG, ingenious! I forgot about these as a kid. I'm so going to try this with my daughter. Thanks for sharing on the #mondayfundayparty !
These look sooo yummy, the kiddos will love it!
