WATERMELON RICE KRISPIE TREATS
Traditional rice krispie treats with a unique twist.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp butter, divided
- 4 cups mini marshmallows, divided
- 5 cups rice krispie cereal, divided
- green food coloring
- pink food coloring
- mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Spray a springform pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a medium size pot, melt 1 tbsp of butter on medium low heat.
- When the butter is melted add 1.5 cups of mini marshmallows. Stir the marshmallows and they will begin to melt.
- As they begin to lose their shape and melt stir in the green food coloring and remove from heat.
- Stir in 2 cups of rice krispie cereal and combine well.
- Drop the now green rice krispie treats into the springform pan. Using a piece of parchment paper, push it to the outer edge of the pan to create the "rind".
- In another pot repeat the process using the remaining ingredients(2 tbsps butter, 2.5 cups marshmallows, 3 rice cereal).
- At the marshmallows stage instead of adding green food coloring, add the pink.
- Place the mixture in the middle and push it down with parchment paper to create the inside of the watermelon.
- When it is slightly cooled, gently push in the mini chocolate chips to be the seeds.
- Let the whole pan cool and cut into slices when it is at room temperature.
