Ingredients
- FOR THE RICE TREATS:
- 1 10-ounce package marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons butter
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup shredded coconut, sweetened or unsweetened
- 5 cups dry rice cereal
- FOR THE "SEAWEED" AND "FISH" TOPPINGS:
- Fruit roll ups, various colors
- Fruit leather (darker colors look more like seaweed)
- Swedish Fish candies
- Various gummy candies
- Orange bursting boba
- Old fashioned raspberry licorice
- Matcha green tea powder
- Vanilla frosting
- Candied ginger, for garnish
Steps
- Make the rice treats: In a large saucepan, combine marshmallows, butter and salt until melted and smooth. Stir frequently. Add coconut and rice cereal. Stir until everything is fully incorporated.
- Pour mixture onto a large parchment-lined baking sheet, and spread into a single layer. We want a very thin layer of rice cereal, about 1/4-inch thick. Let cereal cool slightly.
- Make the sushi: Cut/mold rice treat into desired shapes. Use fruit roll ups as nori, and fill rice with assorted gummies. Be creative!
- Ball up small amounts of rice treat, and wrap with fruit leather; secure with a fruit roll up. Place tapioca pearls on top of the rice treats. This looks like salmon roe. Place Swedish Fish candy on oval rice treats; wrap with a small fruit roll up strip. This looks like classic sushi.
- Mix matcha green tea powder with vanilla frosting to create “wasabi”. Garnish with chocolate sauce for soy sauce and candied ginger. Enjoy!
