9 Bomb Recipes For National Bomb Pop Day

Take a shortcut if you want to use a box of cake mix and some pre-made frosting for this cupcake. Divide the frosting into thirds, add red or blue to two of the frostings and then alternate layers with piping bags.

How cute are these festive cookies that don’t melt in the heat? Not only are they flavored with cherry and lemon extracts, but you can sandwich them together with a cool crème filling for double the fun.

A tricky treat, these truffles look like icy scoops of red, white and blue snow cone, the bomb pops' paper cup cousin, but are really chocolate covered crushed vanilla Oreos with tri-color sanding sugar.

Grownups, gather round because this one is for you. Layers of red grenadine, lemonade and vodka and blue raspberry vodka make an adult-only version of the pop.

A charming summer party favor, this treat is simply marshmallows dipped in water and then tinted sanding sugar, then layered on a stick for foolproof fun.

Another adults only version, this recipe layers blue Jell-O and vodka; lemon extract, condensed milk, plain gelatin and vodka; and cherry Jell-O with vodka into layered shooters, but subbing water for the vodka brings this back to kid territory.

This DIY bomb pop recipe is healthier-ish with fruit with strawberries, blueberries, yogurt and lemonade to make up the three layers.

Another shortcut recipe, the cookies are made simply from red and blue tinted cake mix with sprinkles and filled with scoops of vanilla ice cream.

Bomb pop colors with a hint of tie dye, these cookies are filled with buttercream, swirled with blueberry and cherry preserves and a squeeze of lime.
