Candy Sushi - 2 Ways

ETA: I should add that the cake sushi is not too bad.

I would make it again.

But I HATE rice crispy treats, so that probably influenced my dislike of the crispy sushi.

And it's really weird to bite into a hard crispy thing and have a sticky strip of sugar flopping around on the outside.

Anyway......they look pretty.

And the cake works. It's soft and sweet, so make that type, if you make them.

I have always wanted to make candy sushi.

It looks so neat.

Um, yeah, but it takes a lot of time and they don't taste that great.

But anyway.....here's how I spent 3 hours of my life.

For the first type of sushi I made rice crispies.

3 Tbs. butter

4 cups marshmallows

6 cups rice crispies

-

I rolled them into balls and wrapped a piece of fruit-by-the-foot around each ball.

Then I decorated them using different types of candy.

For the second type of sushi I made a pound cake and cut out little circles of cake.

Then I wrapped a fruit-by-the-foot around each piece and frosted the top.

I dipped the frosted top into shredded coconut.

Then I decorated with candy.

The pink "ginger" is a chopped strawberry starkiss.

The "wasabi" is powdered sugar, water and food coloring.
