Watermelon Snow Cones that are one in a melon.
Watermelon Snow Cones you will need:
Nostalgia Electrics Retro Snow Cone machine
Watermelon syrup (recipe below)
Mini chocolate chips
If you are like me and want a super fast shortcut, use unfrozen Otter Pops. Serious – just snip off the top of the liquid Otter Pop and pour over your snow cone! Mmmmm….
OR you can purchase syrup in the store or online, or make your own using Kool Aid – I used the Kool Aid recipe for these.

3. Pour watermelon syrup into a plastic squeeze bottle.
