Rice Krispy treat cake
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 package (10 ounces, about 40) Jet-Puffed marshmallows
- 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal
Directions:
- Melt butter in a sauce pan with marshmallows and remove from heat once completely melted.
- Use two-thirds of the melted mix to create the red color with red food coloring, and the other third to create the green.
- Put the colored mix into the Rice Krispies cereal and mix until cereal is thoroughly covered.
- Use corn oil to wipe down a circle cake pan so the mix won’t stick.
- Add green rice krispy treat mix around the edges of pan to create watermelon rind, then fill in the middle with the red mix. Add chocolate chips as desired for the seeds.
- Let the cake set, then enjoy!
Watermelon serving tray
Use a half circle or full circle wood board. Paint the middle red and the outer edges green. Paint a white line between the red and green, and add black dots in the red part for the seed look. Let it dry, then screw in handles on opposite sides of the board.
