Marshmallow cereal treats
Cookie Cutters (round)
Knife
Green fruit strips
Swedish fish mini tropical flavor
Green fruit chews
Pink taffy
Instructions
USE the cookie cutter to make round shapes out of the marshmallow cereal treats to make your “rice” base.
CUT the green fruit strip and roll it around the “rice” to make “seaweed.”
TAKE the different colored candies and push them into the “rice” to decorate — green candy is “wasabi” and orange candies are “ginger.”
CREATE an additional sushi shape by cutting the marshmallow cereal treat into rectangles and place pink taffy on top to create “salmon sashimi.”
