MOCK SUSHI


I am always looking for quick & easy recipes using items that we already have in the pantry...this fits the bill!  Not only was it simple to make, but these "sushi" rolls turned out oh, so cute.  T loved helping out with this afternoon treat too, pressing the krispy mixture into the sheet and lining up his gummy treats.  Source - Family Fun Cooking With Kids.

Cooking spray
1/4 cup butter
4 c mini marshmallows
6 c crisped rice cereal
Gummy worms (I substituted with little fruit gummy snacks)
Fruit Roll-ups
  1. Lightly coat a 12x17-inch baking sheet with cooking spray
  2. Melt the butter in a 2-qt saucepan over medium heat.  Add marshmallows and stir until smooth.  Remove mixture from heat and stir in cereal until evenly coated.
  3. Turn the baking sheet so that the shorter ends are at the top and bottom, then press the marshmallow mixture onto the sheet, distributing it evenly.
  4. Starting at one side an 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 to form 4 more logs (or 2 if you are halving the recipe).  Slice each log into 1-inch thick "sushi" rolls and wrap them individually with strips of Fruit Roll-ups.   (Note:  Try not to let the marshmallow mixture cool as it is easier to roll up when the mixture is still warm and pliable.)
