A Tricky Treat: Crispy Candy Sushi Recipe

Candy sushi rolls

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons Butter
  • 6 Cups Rice Krispies Cereal
  • 1 10-ounce bag of Marshmallows
  • 1 Box Fruit Roll-Ups
  • Assorted Gummy Candy or Chocolate
  • Chocolate Syrup, Nutella, Whipped Cream (optional)

Instructions

Make rice crispy treats according to directions. If the box doesn't provide a recipe, here is the link to the original Rice Krispies Treat recipe. (I used the pumpkin spice marshmallows that are now available).

While the Rice Krispies mix is still warm, unroll a Fruit Roll and place the rice mix into the middle of the roll. You can use any type of candy for extra "filling." For this roll, I used gummy worms and JuJu Fish. Twizzlers also work really well (they mimic the crab sticks found in California Rolls). Once you mold the rice mixture and candy, roll the Fruit Roll up and tuck in the sides. Cut the roll into even sushi pieces.

For some finishing touches, I added "soy sauce" (chocolate syrup) and "wasabi" (green whipped cream). I guarantee this Halloween snack will be a hit, especially for the kids who won't eat sushi.

These chewy, colorful creations are a fun way to delight your little goblins and guests alike, perfect for a playful dessert after dinner or as a crowd-pleaser at your Halloween party.
