Candy Sushi!

Justin picked out a recipe from his kid's Rachael Ray cookbook, "Cooking Rocks! Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals for Kids), and wanted to try some candy sushi! It is really easy....


Candy "Sushi"
Makes 4 servings

1 T butter, cut into pieces
12 marshmallows
2 cups puffed rice cereal, such as Kellogg's Rice Krispies
6 fruit roll-ups (6-inches wide) any brand, any flavor
6 strips licorice, such as Twizzler's brand, cut in half

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat and add marshmallows. Stir marshmallows until completely melted. Remove mixture from heat and add cereal. Stir to coat evenly in melted marshmallows.

Roll out the fruit roll-ups. Place a few spoonfuls of the coated cereal onto each fruil roll-up and gather thward the back edge of the roll-up. Press 2 cut licorice twists onto cereal mix. Wrap and roll the candy and fruil roll-up so that the finished product resembles a sushi roll, shimmying the licorice into the center of the Rice Krispies.

Place a sharp knife into a bowl of very warm water. Cut candy sushi with warm knife and arrange pieces on a plate to serve. The candy sushi looks like a big platter of California sushi rolls!

They sure were tasty! We had a group over on Mothers Day evening, and the kids LOVED this!
