4-Candy Sushi


I think this idea is so fun! Great for entertaining kiddos at home on Christmas break this week too.


Ingredients
1/4 cup butter
4 cups mini marshmallows
6 cups crisped rice cereal
20 to 25 gummy worms
1 to 2 boxes of fruit leather (I think Fruit by the Foot would work, if that product still exists!)
12- by 17-inch baking sheet
2-quart saucepan

Instructions
Grease a 12- by 17-inch baking pan.


Melt butter in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat.
Add the marshmallows and stir until smooth.


Remove mixture from heat and stir in the rice cereal until it's evenly coated.


Turn the baking sheet so that the shorter ends are at the top and bottom. Then press the marshmallow mixture on the sheet, distributing it evenly.


Starting at one side and 1 inch up from the lower edge, place gummy worms atop the mixture end to end in a horizontal line.


Gently roll the lower edge of the marshmallow mixture over the gummy worms.


Then stop and cut the log away from the rest of the mixture. Use the same method for 4 more logs.


Slice each log in 1-inch-thick "sushi" rolls and wrap them individually with a strip of fruit leather.


In one of the images above, you can see they have used powdered sugar doughnuts, cut in 1/2, placed a Swedish Fish on top, and then wrapped with the fruit leather.
