These Watermelon Rice Krispie Treats are ideal for those hot summer days.
Ingredients:
Rind
- 1 1/2 Tbsp salted butter
- 2 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
- Green food colouring (I used gel colouring)
- 2 cups rice Krispies cereal
Center
- 2 Tbsp salted butter
- 3 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
- Pink or red food colouring
- 3 cups rice Krispies cereal
- 2 tsp mini chocolate chips
Instructions:
-
Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with non-stick cooking spray, set aside. For the rind portion, melt 1 1/2 Tbsp butter in a medium non-stick saucepan over medium-low heat. Add in 2 1/2 cups marshmallows and green food colouring and cook and stir just until marshmallows have melted. Remove from heat and in 2 cups rice Krispies, stir until even coat. Pour into a prepared baking dish and let cool just slightly (so it’s not too hot to the touch), spray hands with non-stick cooking spray and spread and press mixture around the outer edge to create a rind that is no more than 1-inch thick (don’t over-press so they stay nice and chewy).

Rinse and dry saucepan then for the centre portion melt 2 Tbsp butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add 3 1/2 cups marshmallows and pink or red food colouring and cook and stir just until fully melted. Remove from heat and stir in 3 cups rice Krispies. Pour into centre of the cake pan and once cool enough to handle spray hands with non-stick cooking spray and spread into an even layer. Let cool then sprinkle and press chocolate chips randomly over pink portion. Cut into 6 – 8 wedges. Store in an airtight container.
