Candy Sushi Time!



For one of our family activities this week we took some leftover Easter candy and decided we would make Candy Sushi as our snack for the day. Very simple and super fun…this activity makes time for family interaction, introduces aspects of different cultures, and encourages creativity and trying new things….all while having FUN!

This is super easy to do and you can do many varieties. We use rice crispy treats (warm for about 5 seconds and it will be easier to work with) but simply roll it out, add a filling and roll it in only one full roll. We used Bunnies and peeps, gummy bears, nerds and mini fruit roll ups or fruit by the foot tends to be the perfect width. You could also use Swedish fish and candied dried fruits! The skies the limit…simply let the imaginations roll (hey if the pun fits, right!) !!!

The kids had so much fun. They broke out there chopsticks and each one had there “favorite” roll. Emma exclaimed: “I love Shushi”. So very cute!!!




Have FUN and ENOY!
