Firecracker Cupcakes

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) 

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 coconuts 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.
