How to Make Candy Sushi

Do you need an idea for a creative dessert? How about making this treat that looks like sushi but is made entirely of candy? It incorporates Western sweets with a traditional Asian art form. Use some creativity, this picture, and pictures of real sushi to create a tasty dessert.

Steps [edit]Sushi #1 [edit]Place a strip of Fruit by the Foot (or a thin strip of Fruit Roll-Up) on your working space.

Place a Swedish fish in the center.

Cut a mini-donut in half and place this on the Swedish fish.

Wrap the ends of the Fruit by the Foot around the fish and donut.

Sushi #2 [edit]Wrap a strip of the Fruit by the Foot around a marshmallow.

Place the marshmallow on its end.

Cut a jelly bean in half and place it on the marshmallow, inside facing up.

Cut some small pieces of liquorice so that they look like small balls or fish eggs and place them around the jelly bean half.

Sushi #3 [edit]Using a knife, carefully carve a hole in the middle of a marshmallow.

Thread some liquorice through the center of the marshmallow.

Wrap a strip of the fruit roll-up around the marshmallow.

Tips [edit]Use some strawberry, caramel, or chocolate syrup like soy sauce.

Make Thai Sticky Rice (Below) and use in place of the marshmallow or mini-donut.

Make Rice Krispies Treats and use in place of the marshmallow or mini-donut.

For an icebreaker, you can try setting this up on a platter containing real sushi to see if people can spot the difference.

Incorporate real icebreaker mints to offer a sour flavoring component to these cute desserts.
