​I am growing watermelon in my garden again this year.  I can hardly wait to pick my first, ripe, juicy melon from the vine.  If everything continues to progress on schedule, we should be enjoying our first home grown watermelon of the season in about another month.  Until then, we can enjoy watermelon rice crispy treats.  This recipe came from glorioustreats.com.  It's a keeper.

Carefully remove from microwave, stir, and add in green coloring.  Pour green marshmallow mixture over the bowl of cereal. Stir mixture together, quickly, using a buttered spatula.
Divide the mixture between the two greased cake pans, and press along the sides of the pans, creating a ring about 1.5 inches tall and 1-1.5 inches wide/thick.
