(10 minutes prep · 5 minutes chill)

Warning: These fruity freaks disappear fast! 🍉👀
Our Watermelon Monsters are monstrously fun, no-bake, and just the right mix of silly and sweet. They’re a refreshing way to beat the heat – and a perfect snack for little hands to help make.

Whether you’re planning a summer playdate, a monster-themed party, or just need an afternoon boredom buster, this one’s a total winner.

🍉 Ingredients

• Fresh watermelon

• Melted chocolate (milk, dark, or white)

• Edible candy eyes

• Lollipop sticks or skewers

👾 Method

1. Slice the Watermelon
Cut your watermelon into chunky rectangles or squares – big enough to hold and decorate.

2. Add Chocolate
Dip one end in melted chocolate or drizzle it on with a spoon. (You might want a tray lined with baking paper for this part.)

3. Add Eyes
While the chocolate is still soft, press on candy eyes to give your monsters some personality!

4. Insert Lollipop Sticks
Pop a lollipop stick or skewer into the bottom to turn them into watermelon pops.

5. Chill & Serve
Let them chill in the fridge for a few minutes so the chocolate sets – then serve with a big, silly ROAR! 🧟♂️

🎉 Serving Suggestions

• Serve as part of a fun fruity platter at summer parties.

• Add blueberries, grapes, or strawberries around them for a monster fruit bowl.

• Perfect after outdoor play or swimming!

🔄 Easy Variations

• Switch the fruit: Try with melon or pineapple chunks.

• Flavour twist: Use flavoured chocolate like mint or orange for a spooky surprise.

• DIY Station: Let kids decorate their own monsters with sprinkles, crushed nuts, or icing pens.

🙋 FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! Just store in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Best served cold.

Can I use chocolate chips instead of melting chocolate?
You can melt chocolate chips, but regular bars or melting chocolate work best for a smooth coat.

Are they suitable for toddlers?
Yes – just cut them smaller and use blunt lolly sticks for safety.

💡 Tip

Let kids give each monster a name and voice – it turns snack time into a storytime adventure!
