Watermelon Shaped Rice Krispie Treats

Watermelon Shaped Krispie Treats is the first recipe in a weekly series that we are going to feature here on Turnips 2 Tangerines called “Play with your Food, A Series for Kids”  We thought we’d change things up a little this summer and feature a kid friendly recipe every Wednesday. We have shared so many recipes here on Turnips 2 Tangerines but haven’t really focused on kid friendly recipes.

First Up….

First up in our “Play with your Food, A Series for Kids,” is what else, but that kid friendly classic rice krispie marshmallow treats. Everyone loves this classic treat. Our treats are made to look like a slice of watermelon and the “seeds” are mini chocolate chips. Other than the addition of gel food coloring and mini chocolate chips, this recipe is the same recipe that families have been making for for years.
