Make some fun summer treats for the kids...rice krispie watermelon slices!! They can even be involved in the process of making them.

Ingredients:

  • 6 TBSP Butter, Unsalted
  • 16 oz Miniature Marshmallows, Divided
  • 1 TSP Vanilla Extract
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
  • Red Food Coloring
  • Green Food Coloring
  • Chocolate Chips
  • Parchment Paper

Directions:

  1. Line 2 cake pans with parchment paper.  
  2. In a saucepan, melt the butter.
  3. Add the miniature marshmallows, all except 1 cup.  
  4. Stir until the marshmallows are melted.  Add 1 tsp vanilla and mix.
  5. In a large bowl, pour the melted marshmallows over 6 cups of Rice Krispies.  
  6. Mix together.
  7. Stir in the last cup of marshmallows and mix together.
  8. Divide the Krispies into 2 different bowls.  (I put in a little bit more into one than the other, but not by a whole lot.)  Tint one bowl green and the other red. I like to use the gel food coloring. The red comes out perfect without having to add a huge amount of coloring.
  9. Start with your green krispies.  This will be your watermelon rind.  Layer it around the outside edge of your cake pan.
  10. Once you have the outer green done, fill in the center with the red krispie mix.
  11. Press lightly into the pan and together to make sure the red and green will form together.
  12. Using chocolate chips, press gently into the red.  These are your watermelon seeds.
  13. Let sit for about an hour to fully set.
  14. This will make 2 pans of watermelon rice krispie treats.
