Watermelon Treat

With summer just around the corner, I thought I would share the perfect tasty treat! This is a marshmallow treat shaped just like a watermelon. Here is what you'll need:

8 tbsp butter
8 cups mini marshmallows
8 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Red food coloring
Green food coloring
1/8 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips



1) Melt the butter and marshmallows over a double broiler on medium heat.
2) Stir in the Rice Krispies and divide into two portions. Make one portion about 1/3 of the Rice Krispies and the second portion about 2/3 of the Rice Krispies.
3) Add about six drops of green food coloring to the 1/3 portion of the Rice Krispies and mix well. Then, press around the edges of a greased round pan to form the outside of the watermelon.
4) Repeat step 3 but with red food coloring and the remaining portion of the Rice Krispies and press the Rice Krispies into the center of the pan, forming the middle of the watermelon.
5) Top with chocolate chips and slice like a pie. Enjoy!
