Is there any difference between the two following sentence?
"I'm kidding with you"
"I'm kidding you"
I'm familiar with the phrase
- Are you kidding me?
and I've been wondering about this.
Thank you

To me, "I'm kidding with you" means that the speaker said something mean or untrue about the other person. Example: "You look ugly wearing that shirt." "Really?" "No, I'm kidding with you."
"I'm kidding you" would be said if the speaker said something unbelievable that was not true. "I won a new car!" "Really?" "No I'm kidding you."
However, in both cases you can also just say, "I'm kidding."
