Aren’t these mini watermelons just the cutest thing? The seeds! The rind! Just wait until I tell you about the special ingredients I used to make these darling little Jello gelatin watermelon slices for my kiddos and they were always a hit!

Would you believe I made these from just limes, Jello mix, and chocolate chips? And, they were super easy to make. The hardest part was sticking the chocolate chips inside the gelatin (but I have a little trick to share to make it easier!)

Want to impress your kids with these fun miniature watermelons? Check out this super simple recipe:

Mini Jello Watermelon Ingredients:

• limes
• 1 small box of red Jello
• mini chocolate chips

Mini Jello Watermelon Recipe Instructions:

1) Cut limes in half lengthwise and use a grapefruit spoon to scoop out all the fruit.

2) Place the lines in a muffin tin to keep them from tipping over.

3) Prepare the box of Jello according to the Jiggler instructions

4) Carefully spoon the Jello into the lime halves. Chill until almost firm.

5) Using a toothpick, push the mini chocolate chips into the Jello.

HELPFUL HINT: Poke the flat/bottom side of the chocolate chip with the toothpick and plunge the chip in pointy side first.

6) Chill until until firm, then cut into slices and enjoy.

My kiddos absolutely LOVED these and I’m sure yours will too! What a great, fun recipe that’s both easy to make and yummy to eat! Be sure to check out some of my other yummy treats for kids:
