Gluten-Free Watermelon Rice Krispie Treats Recipe
So much easier to make than they look! 

 

Ingredients for rind

  • 2.5 tablespoons butter (salted)
  • 2.5 cups miniature marshmallows
  • natural green food coloring
  • 2 cups gluten-free Rice Krispies (we use Aldi Brand, which is gluten free)

Ingredients for the center

  • 2 tablespoons butter (salted)
  • 3.5 cups marshmallows
  • natural pink or red food coloring
  • 3 cups gluten-free Rice Krispies
  • mini chocolate chips

Instructions for the rind

  • Spray a 9″ cake pan with cooking spray.
  • Melt 1.5 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
  • Once the butter is melted, add in 2.5 cups marshmallows. Once they’ve melted a bit, add in a few drops of green food coloring and stir until the marshmallows are completely melted. Make it as green as you want!

  • Remove pot from heat and add in 2 cups Rice Krispies and stir until all are evenly coated.
  • Pour the marshmallow mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spray hands with cooking spray and press the mixture evenly onto the sides of the dish, creating a rind roughly 1.5″ wide.

Instructions for making the center

  • Clean and dry the saucepan.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the saucepan over medium-low heat.
  • Add 3.5 cups marshmallows along with the pink or red food coloring. Cook and stir until fully melted. Remove from heat and add in 3 cups Rice Krispies.
  • Pour into the center of the cake pan. Spray hands again and press the red Rice Krispies into an even layer. Let cool.
  • Press mini chocolate chips into the pink center to create “seeds.”
  • Let the “watermelon” cook completely.
  • Cut into 6 or 8 wedges and enjoy!
