Instructions
1. Use small cookie cutters to punch out shapes from the watermelon flesh, or use a knife to cut into small squares or your desired shapes. 2. Prepare an ice bath in a medium bowl. 3. In a medium nonstick pan, combine the sugar and water. Melt together over heat and continue cooking until the temperature reaches 300°F (150°C). 4. Secure a watermelon shape onto a heat-safe skewer. Dip the skewer into the hot sugar mixture to coat the watermelon evenly, then immediately dunk in the ice bath; the sugar should harden and turn glossy on the outside of the fruit. Repeat with the remaining watermelon. Serve immediately. 5. Enjoy!View original recipe
