How to Make Watermelon Rice Crispy Treats

Here’s What You’ll Need:

  • Your favorite rice crispy treats recipe (or a store-bought sheet of unsliced treats)
  • Round cookie cutter
  • Red or pink frosting (I like using Pillsbury Funfetti Vibrant Vanilla)
  • Green frosting (another plug for Funfetti Vibrant Vanilla)
  • Mini chocolate chips or chocolate covered sunflower seeds
  • Optional, but helpful: medium round piping tip + piping bag*

Instructions

  1. Use a cookie cutter to cut the treats into circles, then slice some (or all!) of them in half.
  2. Spread a layer of red or pink frosting over each treat.
  3. Pipe* green frosting around the outer edge to create a “rind” effect.
  4. Press chocolate chips into the center of each treat to resemble watermelon seeds.

*Filling a zip top bag and snipping off the corner works just fine too!

These watermelon rice krispie treats are the perfect dessert for Memorial Day, a fun summer party, or any time you want to serve something cute and creative! Made with rice krispies cereal and shaped using cookie cutters (or cake pans if you prefer slice-style treats), this watermelon version of classic cereal treats gets its signature look from pink and green frosting—not actual watermelon flavor, though you could add some to the frosting if you wanted.

Mini chocolate chips mimic the seeds, or you can pipe on a tiny bit of melted chocolate for extra detail. With a pink frosted center, a frosted green rind, and all the charm of real watermelon slices, these watermelon treats are sure to stand out. Store any leftovers in an airtight container and enjoy a sweet bite of summer anytime.
