Use another pot or saucepan and add 4 Tablespoons of unsalted butter. Place it over low heat and melt the butter gently.
Add 4 cups of mini marshmallows and stir until melted and smooth.
Stir in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon of kosher salt, and pink or red gel food coloring until the marshmallow mixture resembles the inside of a watermelon.
Remove the pot from the heat, add 4 ½ cups Rice Krispies cereal, and gently fold until the cereal is evenly coated.
Press the pink cereal mixture into the center of the pan, gently pressing it against the green rind to ensure the whole pan is filled evenly.
While the treats are still slightly warm, press 2 tablespoons of brown mini M&M’s or mini chocolate chips into the pink center so they look like watermelon seeds.
Let the treats set at room temperature for about 1 hour, then lift them out of the pan.
Slice into 8 triangular wedges so each piece looks like a little watermelon slice, then serve and ENJOY!
