Is it hot where you are? I’m guessing it is! I’m certainly not complaining, because I really do love Summer, but the heat makes it a little difficult to continue our love for baking! So what’s the next best thing? No-Bake Summer Treats and these Frozen Watermelon Pops are sure to be a hit!
With a little supervision, even the kiddos can make these Watermelon Pops. A cool and creamy center in sandwiched between red and green Jell-O and layered in a paper cup to make the Pops a must have delicious treat.
In case you have little hands, and if your weather is like ours, you will want to place a cupcake liner on the bottom of your Watermelon Pop…it works perfectly to keep hands clean.
I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite No-Bake Summer Treats for you too!
