Summer is all about easy living and my goal is to bring you simple, quick recipes throughout the season. I know I do not want to spend the time in front of a stove all day and I doubt you do as well.

This recipe below falls under the category of “simple to do but looks impressive” and is sure to wow at your next bbq or potluck gathering! I made them for my brother-in-laws birthday and everyone loved them!

This recipe below is super easy to follow and takes about 15 minutes to put together. The remaining time is for the watermelon to be popped back into the fridge to cool. One tip I do have is to drizzle the chocolate onto the watermelon. Although it may be tempting to dip the wedge into the melted chocolate – I would avoid it. Since watermelon is filled with water the chocolate starts to form clumps after a few dunks and becomes one hot mess. This cannot be unseen or reversed no matter how hard one tries….or cries! So do me a favour and save the chocolate I tell ya!

Watermelon is an awesome refreshing snack on a hot summer day and the sprinkles + chocolate give it an extra boost making it a wonderful dessert to bring along to your next gathering! It keeps well in the fridge over night if you need to make it ahead of time – the sprinkles dye the watermelon slightly but it is not very noticeable and definitely does not change the taste!
