Candy sushi is made like regular sushi, but use fruit roll-ups, Rice Krispy “dough” and gummy candy, such as jelly worms.
Here are some helpful tips:
- You will find the rice krispie dough recipe on the side of any Kellogg’s Rice Krispies box
- Make only half a recipe of rice krispie dough at a time, since you will want to use it while it is still warm and malleable
- Pre-peel the fruit roll-ups from their plastic and otherwise fully prepare all equipment and ingredients before making the rice dough
- Line your sushi rolling mat with a piece of cellophane to keep the fruit roll-up from sticking
- After they cool, use a very sharp knife for cutting rolls (as you also would for real sushi)
- They are best the same day, and not refrigerated. Otherwise, they get unacceptably chewy.

Sushi rolls, before cutting. The purple one on the right was rolled in flavoured, coloured sugar.
The conversation fuel alone is worth the effort.
