Candy Sushi Making

Uncle Bob was the hero tonight!  After our family barbeque, he pulled out the trimmings for candy sushi!  He had all the kids working, making their own custom made sushi and wow, was it a hit!  Uncle Bob's friend found it on Pinterest and forwarded it on to him, knowing that he is a real sushi lover, and Uncle Bob just couldn't resist sharing the joy with all the nephews and nieces!

Ingredients:
Green colored Fruit Roll Ups
Batch of Rice Krispie treats
Gummy worms or licorice sticks
Gummy fish

Flatten the batch of Rice Krispie treats into a rectangle, or if you are in a hurry like the kids tonight, no need to bother with this step.

Place a gummy worm or licorice stick on one end of the rectangle and roll it up.

Cover the log with the green Fruit Roll Up and add gummy fish if desired.

Slice the log into little sushi bites and gobble them up!

Unfortunately, we didn't get any good pictures of the final products as they were snarfed down almost immediately, but here is a blog from Mommyknows.com that has a great tutorial and pictures of what they should have looked like.

Lots of sticky fingers and green tongues after this project, that's for sure!  I skipped the gummy stuff and the Fruit Roll Ups and just enjoyed the Rice Krispies.  Try this with your kids!  They'll love it.

Ok, I'll try again.
I like this recipe. I'm going to pass it on to my co-workers at KIDS 1st and see if they want to try it. I'm sure the kids will enjoy it, too.
