One of my favourite summer treats growing up was the frozen watermelon my mom would slice up and give to us after running around outside all day. Now that I am making this treat on my own, I decided to add my own special flair to it!
I purchased a baby watermelon at Vons (too cute!) and I have to say that it took everything in my power not to eat the whole thing by myself! I picked two cookie cutters and cut the watermelon into slices about the width of the cutters. The photo below shows the end pieces which only fit one cut but the others fit two or three!
They ended up being small treats, just the right amount for someone with sensitive teeth! They can be made bigger though and even just large triangle slices. I didn't have popsicle sticks so I stuck a toothpick in each one since holding a frozen piece of watermelon can be hard on the fingers.
I gave one to Mike after dinner and he kept asking me what was in them. He didn't believe it was truly, only watermelon! Such a sweet treat to share with family and kids on warm summer afternoons!
