Many DIY rainbow popsicles are labor and time intensive between mixing each colored layer or waiting for layers to freeze before adding the next. While those are SO adorable, I like the idea of this quick fix recipe and they are are super cute on top of it! You can't tell me these ice pops don't make you smile big! 😉
Rainbow Popsicles Recipe
For this quick recipe, you only need Sprite or other clear lemon lime flavored soda, Rainbow Berry Airheads Extremes Sour Candy & popsicle molds. I recently bought these Ozera popsicle molds that have a drip guard (oh yeah baby!)
These two ingredients make for a ridiculously amazing looking rainbow pop that tastes like childhood in every bite.
With a special little twist to the candy, you can make the perfect rainbow ice pops. I did some trial and error and this was definitely the best way to do it. Check it out!
Then pinch the ends together so they stick.
Repeat 4 times, pressing each layer into a pop mold, so that it looks like this:
Unlike other gummy candies, these Airheads don't harden up when frozen. They actually do the opposite and get a bit softer.
The MAGIC of these pops happen when all the sugary sour goodness come off of the candy and mix right into the soda. Each bite is a sweet and sour surprise. Like the best of movie theater snacks in each nibble.
