Kids Candy Sushi



Candy Sushi

Candy Sushi

The kids have been itching to do another Kids in the Kitchen post for the last couple weeks. Sometimes I wonder where the time goes as it has been a long time since our last recipe. Candy sushi has been on my ‘to-do’ list with them for a while so I knew that this would be the perfect post to do today.
Candy sushi is incredibly simple to do. Essentially, it is nothing more than dressed up rice krispie treats. I used the recipe for Rice Krispie treats right from the Kellogg’s website, although I added 50% more marshmallows to make sure they were gooey enough to mold into the california rolls and nigiri sushi.
For the candy, I went to the bulk store to buy swedish fish, gummy sharks, licorice string, gummy worms. I bought Fruit Roll-ups at the grocery store.
Candy sushi is a lot of fun to make and are bright and colourful. The kids loved making them as much as they did eating them.

Use cooking spray to grease a cookie sheet and press the Rice Krispie treats evenly across the cookie sheet. I tried to get a large variety of gummy candy to give a big mixture of different types of sushi.
Lay the Fruit Roll-up on the Rice Krispie sheet and cut it out to size. Lay the licorice or gummy worms on the edge and roll up the california roll and cut it into 4 equal size sushi rolls.
The kids loved making the nigiri sushi as they were so quick and easy!
