 I speak from experience when I say this Cool Watermelon Dessert is one that both kids and adults will enjoy!  It’s creamy and fruity with a crunchy outer crust.  Not to mention it’s just so fun looking!

Ingredients: Outer green crust: 2 c. crispy rice cereal 1 Tbsp. butter 1 3/4 c. mini marshmallows 4-5 drops green food colouring Creamy filling: 1 container (8 oz.) Cool Whip, thawed 1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk 1/2 can (6 oz.) Strawberry Juice from concentrate (frozen) 1/2 tsp. strawberry Kool-Aid powder
Directions: Outer green crust: In a large saucepan, melt butter. Add marshmallows and stir constantly until marshmallows are completely melted. Add food coloring and stir until desired color is reached. Add cereal and stir until completely combined. Turn off heat and let sit for a minute, until cool enough to handle. Press mixture around the edges of an 8" round cake pan that's been lightly sprayed around the edges with butter spray.
Creamy filling: Pour sweetened condensed milk into a bowl. Fold in whipped topping. Add frozen strawberry juice and Kool-Aid powder and continue to gently fold. Don't let the mixture become soupy. Pour into the middle of the pan and spread evenly. You may not need all of it, depending on the height and thickness of your outer crust. Save the extras, if you have them, for Popsicles! Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top. Let freeze for 5-8 hours, or overnight if you've got the time.
