Sweetened Watermelon Bites Recipe

Ingredients:

1 medium-sized watermelon
1 packet of flavored drink mix (e.g., Skittles, fruit punch, strawberry lemonade)

Instructions:

Prepare the Watermelon:
- Start by thoroughly washing the exterior of the watermelon.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the watermelon in half.
- Slice each half into manageable wedges.
- Carefully remove the rind from each wedge and cut the watermelon flesh into bite-sized pieces. Aim for roughly 1-inch cubes for easy snacking.

Mix the Drink Mix:
- Open your chosen packet of flavored drink mix. Popular choices include Skittles, fruit punch, and strawberry lemonade, all of which add a delightful sweetness to the watermelon.
- Sprinkle the drink mix evenly over the cut watermelon pieces.

Combine and Chill:
- Gently mix the watermelon pieces and drink mix in a large bowl. Ensure that all pieces are well-coated with the mix.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the watermelon into an airtight container.
- Place the container in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours. This allows the flavors to meld and the watermelon to become even juicier and more flavorful.
Serve:
- Once chilled, give the watermelon a quick stir to redistribute any settled flavoring.
- Serve the sweetened watermelon bites cold. They make for a refreshing and flavorful snack, perfect for hot days or as a fun addition to any gathering.

Enjoy your enhanced, sweetened watermelon! 🍉😋
