These Rice Krispy treats are perfect for a summer party!
Yield: 12-16 treats
Source: www.kawaiisweetworld.com
Ingredients:
- Pam or similar cooking spray for spraying the pans before adding rice mixture.
- Watermelon Rind:
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 4 cups Rice Krispies
- green gel food coloring
- Watermelon Center:
- 5 cups mini marshmallows
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 5 cups Rice Krispies
- mini chocolate chips
- red gel food coloring
- Popsicle sticks, optional
Steps:
- Watermelon Rind: Put the butter and mini marshmallows into a microwave safe bowl.
- Microwave in 20 second intervals until butter and marshmallows are melted. Stir occasionally.
- Use a clean toothpick to add green gel coloring to the marshmallow mixture. Stir and add more coloring until it reaches the desired color.
- Add rice cereal and mix until well coated.
- Spray cake pans with cooking spray, such as Pam. Divide the mixture in half and drop small amounts around the outside edge of both pans (see photo below). Use a piece of wax paper to press the mixture tightly together to form the rind.
- Watermelon Center: Prepare a second batch of marshmallow mixture. Use a clean toothpick to add red gel coloring to the marshmallow mixture. Stir and add more coloring until it reaches the desired color.
- Add rice cereal and mix until well coated.
- Divide the mixture in half and place into the center of the pan, as shown below. Then use a piece of wax paper to press it into place.
- Use a knife to loosen it from the pan. Turn it out onto a cutting board and chill in the refrigerator for approx. 15 minutes. Then use a sharp knife to cut into wedges.
- Add the mini chocolate chips, pressing them into the treats, point-side down. If you want to serve them without sticks, I recommend placing a piece of wax paper between them to keep them from sticking together.
- Optional: To serve them on sticks, gently push a popsicle stick into the bottom of each piece.

What a fun idea! I can imagine the squealing from the kids as you bring out dessert. Great idea for picnics.
