When the kids get home from school, they are usually hungry. Before they start to work on homework, I let them decompress and have a snack. One of their favorites are my easy watermelon Rice Krispie marshmallow treats recipe .

This Easy Watermelon Rice Krispie Marshmallow Treats Recipe is a fun snack the kids will love to eat and can even help make!

Easy Watermelon Rice Krispie Marshmallow Treats Recipe

In my house, Rice Krispie Treats are about as popular as an ice cream sundae! We probably make different variations of them 3 or 4 times a month. It is a snack that is cheap and surprisingly, not that high in calories.

A Snack The Kids Can Make

Now that the kids are older, they can help me in the kitchen. That means my hands don’t have to get sticky when we are forming the Rice Krispie Treats!!

Easy Watermelon Rice Krispie Marshmallow Treats Recipe

This snack is super easy to make and are ready in less than 30 minutes! If you want to take them to school for a cute teacher’s gift, you can wrap them in cellophane and tie it with a ribbon.
