While the crust is in the oven, break two of the candy bars into rectangles. Remove pan from oven; place one rectangle into each cup.

The refreshing blend of watermelon, red onions and a splash of citrus always does me proud at picnics and potlucks. I like to prepare it a day ahead so the flavors have a chance to blend, I use the rind as a colorful serving bowl. If you're short on time, simply substitute any bottled citrus vinaigrette.

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup vegetable oil
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the watermelon and onions. In a small bowl,
combine the orange juice, vinegar, honey, red pepper and seasonings;
slowly whisk in the oil.

Pour over watermelon mixture; toss gently to coat. Cover and
refrigerate for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Serve with
a slotted spoon. Yield: 16 servings.
