Rice Krispie Treat Watermelon

Step 5 Finshing touches

Wrap the Rice Krispie shape up in the fondant and work out and seams. You can add more stripes over the green and just smooth them in. If it is getting sticky add a little powdered sugar and rub it in.

If you have it outside slice it quick, the humidity make the "skin" stick together. It may not be as refreshing as a good watermelon, but you can make them year round.

maybe just a small bit of cocoa krispies for the seeds would work...

This is absolutely adorable, and so creative! Good job! I wonder what else you could use for the seeds, I don't really like dried blueberries...

What about Zante Currants? Suzanne in Orting, WA

Ooh, I haven't seen those before. Interesting idea, though, thank you!

They should be n the grocery store with the raisins. "The Zante currant (Vitis vinifera) is a variety of small, sweet, seedless black grape named after Corinth (currant) and the Ionian island of Zakynthos (Zante) and not to be confused with the blackcurrant, redcurrant, and white currant which are berries of shrubs in the Ribes genus and are in a different family altogether. Like grapes, currants are perennial.The name apparently comes from the Anglo-French phrase "raisins de Corinthe" (Raisins of Corinth)[1]; "Zante" is a recent prefix given to distinguish them from the Ribes berry currants. Unlike blackcurrants, the Zante currant is not a significant source of vitamin C[2]. Zante currants are very small and intensely flavoured. They can be eaten raw, especially when ripe, when they are sweet to the taste. They may also be referred to as table grapes for this purpose. More commonly they are used for making raisins and occasionally wine. When dried, they are often referred to as dried currants or just "currants" and in this form are used in cooking, especially baking and are a major ingredient in currant slice (or currant square) and currant cake. In the United Kingdom they are usually referred to simply as "currants" and often used in scones, currant buns, Christmas cake, Christmas pudding and mincemeat. They are sometimes sold mixed with raisins and sultanas as "mixed dried fruit"." File:Zante currants.jpg

Weird, I've never seen them before! I'll look next time I'm in the grocery store. They sound interesting! Thanks for the information!!

My first thought was chocolate chips. But those would melt and be a mess. You could try black licorice (strips, bite, or drops) or raisins. I didn't use either of those, since my kids don't like them.

[mslaynie]

Yea, that makes total sense. If your kids won't like it, why bother? Especially with something this cute and fun! Chocolate chips would turn into brown smears, i think. But raisins would work well, I think! This is such a great idea, I told my husband all about it, and how cute I thought it was!
