I made candy sushi today!
I forgot how much I actually hate making rice krispy treats. I don’t like being sticky. I’m a little OCD on that front. But I had to make them for the “sushi” so I just did what needed to be done… and made a mess while doing so. They came out cute!
Rice krispy treats to represent the rice, gummi worms to represent the fish within the roll, and green fruit roll-up on the outside to act as the seaweed. Then the nigiri were swedish fish set on a piece of treat with a thin piece of fruit roll-up around it.
I had made them for the Halloween party at Mike’s house. When I brought them in, he looked at me like I was insane. But they were a hit! People thought they were adorable and they got eaten. (Edit: By morning, the nigiri were almost all gone.) I was proud of myself. Just a random treat for Halloween. And now that I’ve done them once, I know that I can do them again… provided I can find more green fruit roll-ups. I had gotten lucky in that Target was selling some minis with Shrek tongue tattoos. It was the first time I was able to find green ones since I started my search over a month ago.
