Begin by selecting a ripe watermelon. Cut the watermelon in half and scoop out the flesh using a spoon. 2. Remove any seeds from the watermelon flesh. Cut the watermelon into small, bite-sized cubes (approximately 2-3 cm). 3. Take a small dollop of peanut butter and spread it over each watermelon cube. You can adjust the amount of peanut butter according to your toddler's preference. 4. If using, sprinkle a tiny pinch of cinnamon on top of the peanut butter-covered watermelon for added flavor. 5. Arrange the watermelon peanut butter bites on a plate and serve immediately. They can also be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
