Candy Sushi

By Virginia Switzer

Candy_sushiI'm no sushimi master and I still haven’t tried making the real deal, but rolling candy sushi is a great start! These bit-sized enjoyments are fun for kids like myself to make and gobble down by the handful. Beware of the high volume sugar rush. A box of roll-ups, gummy worms or Swedish Fish, Rice Krispies, marshmallows, and butter is all you need to make 32 rolls.

While I was rolling a batch for a work related project last night I couldn’t help but imagining ways to incorporate these sweet sushi bites into party ideas. This partially originated from an invitation I received last week to attend a ladybug themed birthday party for a precious 2-year old, Megan. So it made me think, wouldn’t these sweet sushi bites be fantastic incorporated into a Japanese themed Birthday party? Cute kimonos, beautiful paper lanterns, and creative origami art. I've decided that candy sushi can be fun for everyone and the possibilities are endless in how you can incorporate these colorful treats. Enjoy!

What a neat idea to do as an enrichment for a classroom study of Japan.

Fun! I'm blogging about Japanese food, but I never seen this. Very creative.
