Petite Watermelons

Ingredients
2 limes
1 small box of red Jello
 mini chocolate chips

Direction
Cut both limes in half lengthwise. Scoop out all the fruit with a spoon. Place the limes in a muffin tin to keep them from tipping over. Make the box of Jello according to the Jiggler directions. Carefully spoon Jello into the limes halves. Chill until almost firm. Using a skewer push the mini chocolate chips into the Jello for "watermelon seeds." Chill until until firm, then cut into slices.

Berry cute santa

Ingredients
1 loaf (10-3/4 ounces) frozen pound cake, thawed
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
12 red-frilled toothpicks
12 large strawberries, cut in half widthwise
24 miniature semisweet chocolate chips
12 fudge-covered cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies

Directions

Cut twelve 1-in. cubes from pound cake (save remaining cake for another use). For icing, in a small bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar on high speed until light and fluffy. Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag; insert a #18 star tip. Fill bag with icing.
For each Santa, thread a frilled toothpick through a pointed strawberry half, then through a cake cube and a second strawberry half. For eyes, place a dab of icing on the bottoms of two chocolate chips; press onto cake. Pipe icing to form beards and to add fur brims below strawberry hats. Place each Santa on a cookie; serve immediately.
