What You Need
1-1/2 cups BAKER'S ANGEL FLAKE Coconut, divided


4 drops each: blue and red food colorings

24 yellow cupcakes

2 cups thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping

24 red string licorice pieces (4 inch)

Make It
PLACE 1/2 cup of the coconut in each of two separate resealable plastic bags; set remaining 1/2 cup coconut aside. Add blue food coloring to coconut in one bag and red food coloring to coconut in second bag. Seal bags; shake until coconut is evenly tinted.

SPREAD tops of cupcakes with whipped topping. Sprinkle with red, white (uncolored) and blue coconut as desired; press coconut gently into whipped topping to secure.

INSERT licorice piece into top of each cupcake for the firecracker's fuse. Store in refrigerator.

Kraft Kitchens Tips:
Divide whipped topping into thirds. Color one portion with 4 drops red food coloring and second portion with 4 drops blue food coloring. Leave remaining portion white. Spread onto cupcakes and continue as directed.  Have children decorate their own cupcakes.
