To make into watermelon slices: 

• Tint marshmallow mixture with red food coloring before mixing in the Rice Krispies. 
• Use an 8 or 9" round cake pan. 
• When firm, cut into wedges. 
• Dip the end of the wedges into white chocolate that has been tinted green to resemble the rind of the watermelon. 
• Sprinkle with miniature choclate chips to make the "seeds".
