What You Need

You need a few supplies before getting started:

• Small pot & wooden spoon: to make the rice mixture
• Waxed or parchment paper: used to roll the sushi. If you make a lot of sushi, candy or otherwise, you can buy a sushi rolling mat.
• Plastic bags or wrap: for storing

Ingredients

You need 5 ingredients:

• Fruit roll ups: in your favorite flavor
• Gummy candy: gummy worms, gummy bears, Emoji candy, swedish fish, or something else.
• Rice Krispie cereal: generic toasted rice cereals work fine too.
• Marshmallows: mini, standard or jumbo all work.
• Butter

You can use any size marshmallows so don't worry about buying mini marshmallows (like many recipes call for) if you already have the larger ones. Since they are melted into the butter, size doesn't matter. It just may take a little longer for large marshmallows to melt that it does mini ones.

Use any of your favorite gummy candy. My kids love gummy bears and the Emoji gummies. Gummy worms, swedish fish and even sour patch kids are great options also.

Step 1. The first step to making candy sushi is to make the rice/cereal mixture. Melt the marshmallows and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the Rice Krispies and stir constantly, until they are coated with the marshmallows and butter. Remove this cereal mixture from the heat and let it cool for no longer than 5 minutes. It should be warm enough to spread but not so hot that it melts the fruit roll up and other candy.

Step 2. Next, on a piece of parchment paper or waxed paper, spread out the strips of fruit roll up.

Step 3. Spread the rice mixture on half of the fruit roll up.

Step 4. Add the gummy candy on top of the rice mixture.

Step 5. Roll the fruit roll up tightly, like you would a burrito.

Step 6. Slice into 1 inch pieces using a serrated or bread knife.

How to Store

Candy sushi will last 3 days at room temperature before it becomes too hard to eat. Store in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in plastic. It should not be stored in the fridge or freezer.
