Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1/4 | cup butter |
| 4 | cups mini marshmallows |
| 6 | cups crispy rice cereal |
| 20 – 25 | gummy worms |
| 1 – 2 | fruit roll-ups |
Instructions:
-
Grease a 12×17″ baking sheet to prepare for your sushi-making adventure.
-
Melt butter in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat until it transforms into a golden liquid.
-
Add mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until you achieve a smooth, velvety texture.
-
Remove the marshmallow mixture from heat and gently fold in the crispy rice cereal until it is evenly coated, creating a sticky, delightful concoction.
-
Turn the prepared baking sheet so that the shorter ends are positioned at the top and bottom for optimal sushi rolling.
-
Spread the marshmallow mixture evenly onto the baking sheet, ensuring it covers the entire surface with a uniform thickness.
-
Starting at one side of the marshmallow layer, about an inch up from the lower edge, place gummy worms in a horizontal line, end to end, mimicking the appearance of sushi filling.
-
Carefully roll the lower edge of the marshmallow mixture over the gummy worms, creating a compact log-like shape.
-
Stop rolling once you reach the end, and using a sharp knife, cut the log away from the remaining marshmallow mixture.
-
Repeat the rolling process to form four more logs, ensuring each one is tightly packed with gummy worm goodness.
-
Slice each marshmallow log into 1-inch thick “sushi” rolls, unveiling the delightful surprises hidden within.
-
Wrap each sushi roll individually with a strip of fruit roll-ups, securing them in their playful disguise.
