Sassy Candy Sushi

Serves

32ish

Ingredients

25 Large Marshmallows (x 2, separated)
2 tablespoons unsalted sweet cream butter (x 2, separated)
3 cups puffed rice cereal (x 2, separated)
2 red licorice wands (or any other tubular candy of your choosing. I used pull & peel twizzlers)
28 pieces gummy candy of your choosing (I used generic Swedish fish in different colors. 12 for the rolls and 16 for the sushi)
3-4 fruit roll ups (any flavor)

Directions

Step 1
Melt butter & marshmallows in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring after each round.
Step 2
Once melted, slowly add 3 cups of rice cereal and stir until evenly coated.
Step 3
TO MAKE THE ROLLS: At this step you can do one of two things, you could: a. Add a thick layer of the marshmallow mixture directly to a large piece of parchment sprayed with non-stick spray, pressing down gently so the mixture is flattened. (This is the technique I used.) b. Fully open two fruit roll ups and lay side by side on parchment paper sprayed with non-stick spray. Add a thick layer of the marshmallow mixture on top of the fruit roll ups and press down gently so the mixture is flattened and the fruit roll ups stick to the rice krispies. Make sure to not spread the mixture any larger than the fruit snack! Continue to step 4.
Step 4
Add one licorice wand just above the edge (the part closest to you) of the krispie mixture and then line 6 gummy fish (lengthwise) as close to the wand as possible.
Step 5
Using your parchment as a makeshift sushi mat, gently roll the mixture until the candies are covered and everything is compact. Gently squeeze the roll together so as to hold it in place better.
Step 6
Cut along the edge of the roll and repeat steps 4 & 5.
Step 7
Tightly secure the rolls and refrigerate for 5 minutes before slicing. If you chose option b above, wrap the roll with the fruit roll up after refrigerating. Slice in about one inch slices when ready to serve.
Step 8
TO MAKE THE SUSHI: Repeat steps 1 & 2 above.
Step 9
Spray your hands with non-stick spray and form the rice krispie mixture into little oval balls. You should get approximately 16-18 pieces.
Step 10
Top each ball with a swedish fish and then wrap with a small strip of fruit roll up.
Step 11
Enjoy!
