These red, white, and blue pops have serious patriotic flair and are totally free of the artificial dyes that color the store-bought version. They look best when you make them in a rocket shaped ice-pop mold, but they’ll still look gorgeous in a classic-style ice-pop mold. The layering and freezing process takes a little extra time, but it’s totally worth the effort.
