Instructions
To Make Candy Nigiri Sushi
Form rice krispie treats into golf ball-sized portions, then use your hands to form the marshmallow treats into a more oblong shape.
Place a gummy fish on top of the rice.
Take one small Tootsie Roll and stretch/flatten so that it lays on top of the candy fish and wraps around the sides of the rice, like a belt.
To Make Candy Sushi Maki
Remove the plastic backing from a sheet of Fruit Roll Ups candy and lay flat on a clean countertop or cutting board. Roll out marshmallow treats on top of the Fruit Roll Up, so that you have a sheet that is less than 1/2 inch thickness.
Place 2-3 pieces of licorice rope or Twizzlers candy at one edge of the sheet of marshmallow treats.
Carefully roll up the marshmallow treats around the licorice, just like you would a real sushi roll, with the Fruit Roll Up on the outside. As you roll the candy sushi, gently squeeze/compress to keep everything together.
Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before cutting into slices.
Easy Kid-Made Sushi
The third way to make candy sushi is really, really easy and kids can do this one themselves!
Shape the crispy treats into little circles or squares that are flat on top. Cookie cutters work well or you can freehand it.
Decorate each sushi bite with colorful sprinkles or mini candies. Have fun with it!
