Red Vines Bloody Vanilla Popsicles Recipe

With Original Red Licorice Candy

Bloody Vanilla Popsicles made with melted Red Vines

What You'll Need:

Makes about 6 popsicles, depending on popsicle mold size

BLOODY DRIP:

10 Red Vines Original Red Twists (Or 5 Original Red and 5 Grape Twists)
1 cup (240 grams) water
Red food coloring (optional)

VANILLA POPSICLE BASE:

2/3 cup (165 grams) whole milk
½ cup (120 grams) heavy cream
3 tablespoons (40 grams) sugar

Melt Red Vines and Refrigerate

Chop the Red Vines into ½” pieces. In a saucepan, combine Red Vines pieces and water. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the Red Vines have melted and you have a smooth syrup. Add red food coloring if desired.

Refrigerate the syrup, stirring occasionally, until it has cooled to room temperature.

Red Vines cut into half inch pieces and melted in a pot

Red Vines syrup poured into the top of the popsicle trays made to look like it's dripping

Pour Syrup Into Popsicle Molds

Once cool, use spoon to pour a little syrup into the top of each mold.

If your molds lay flat, use spoon to nudge the syrup into a drippy shape in top half of the mold. If your molds stand up, spoon syrup into all of the cavities & flip molds upside down to let syrup drip down the sides.

Place popsicle molds in freezer until firm—at least 1 hour. Meanwhile, make popsicle base.

Combine Ingredients for Popsicle Base

For the popsicle base, combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine.

Remove the popsicle molds from the freezer. Place them on a tray that will fit in your freezer.
