Straight from the Department of Mysteries, these brains have left the tank and landed on your table!

 

 

What You’ll Need:

  • 1 small seedless watermelon
  • Vegetable peeler
  • Paring knife
  • Toothpick

 

Directions:

Step 1: Using a vegetable peeler, peel away the green rind of the watermelon. Leave the inner white rind intact.

Step 2: Cut off the bottom of the melon to keep it from rolling.

Step 3: Use a toothpick to outline squiggling crevices to mimic the folds of the outside of the brain.

Step 4: Use a sharp paring knife to carve along the toothpick tracings to show the inner pink melon.
