Instructions
Combine the pink marshmallows and mini chocolate chips in a large mixing bowl. Line a 9x13 inch pan with parchment paper.
5 1/2 cups pink mini marshmallows*, 1/2 cup (85g) mini chocolate chips
In a microwave safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil. Microwave for 1 minute on 50% power, stirring and repeating as necessary until the chocolate is melted. Add in some red and pink gel food coloring, stir with a spatula until combined. You can always add more to get a brighter color.

Pour the pink chocolate over the marshmallows and chocolate chips, and mixed until well coated. Transfer the mixture to the pan and use your hands (sprayed with a little bit of non-stick cooking spray) to press the mixture evenly into the pan.
Allow the chocolate to set completely before cutting into slices. Once set, remove the parchment paper from the pan, and cut the watermelon into triangular slices.
In a small pot over low heat, melt the green and yellow candy melts with 1 Tbsp vegetable shortening. Stir until completely melted. Dip the ends of the watermelon slices into the green chocolate mixture, and place on a silicone baking mat to harden. Once harden, remove from the mat, place on a serving tray, and enjoy!

NOTES
*Let’s talk about the pink marshmallows. I bought four 10 oz bags of the mini fruit flavored marshmallows. The fruit variety usually has pink, yellow, orange and green colored marshmallows and because I wanted just pink marshmallows, I bought 4 bags and sorted through them, setting the pink ones aside. Call me crazy, but it was worth it and took less than 10 minutes.
I recommend melting the white chocolate chips in the microwave with a little bit of vegetable oil. Microwave on 50% power.
Once the white chocolate chips are melted and you’ve dyed it pink, quickly mix it with the marshmallows and mini chocolate chips. Then dump it onto the pan so you can press it out evenly before the chocolate hardens
