Not only is this recipe minimal effort, but the ingredient list is SHORT. You only need four things to whip up a batch.

• Jell-O: Be sure to grab the smaller 3 oz boxes. The bigger boxes will work, just be sure to adjust ingredients accordingly.
• Kool Aid: Coordinate your flavor of Jell-O with a flavor of kool-aid.
• Sugar: A touch of sugar helps to sweeten the pops and tone down the tart kool-aid mix.
• Water: Water is the base that gives these pops their full and icy texture.
