Mock Sushi
There's definitely something fishy about these Japanese-style rolls. The rice is crispy, the wraps are fruity, and your kids will love them--no fooling!
Materials
1/4 cup butter
4 cups mini marshmallows
6 cups crisped rice cereal
20 to 25 gummy worms
1 to 2 boxes of fruit leather
12- by 17-inch baking sheet
2-quart saucepan
Step 1:
Grease a 12- by 17-inch baking pan.
Step 2:
Melt butter in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat.
Step 3:
Add the marshmallows and stir until smooth.
Step 4:
Remove mixture from heat and stir in the rice cereal until it's evenly coated.
Step 5:
Turn the baking sheet so that the shorter ends are at the top and bottom. Then press the marshmallow mixture on the sheet, distributing it evenly.
Step 6:
Starting at one side and 1 inch up from the lower edge, place gummy worms atop the mixture end to end in a horizontal line.
Step 7:
Gently roll the lower edge of the marshmallow mixture over the gummy worms.
Step 8:
Then stop and cut the log away from the rest of the mixture. Use the same method for 4 more logs.
Step 9:
Slice each log in 1-inch-thick "sushi" rolls and wrap them individually with a strip of fruit leather.
