4.8 from 106 reviews

Cotton Candy Sushi is a whimsical and colorful dessert that cleverly mimics traditional sushi using sweet treats. It combines fluffy cotton candy with marshmallow fluff or rice crispy treats as a base, filled with gummy worms, mini marshmallows, and fruity candies, then rolled and sliced into fun bite-sized pieces. This no-cook recipe is perfect for parties and adds a playful twist to dessert tables.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Variety of colored cotton candy (approximately 2 cups, enough to stretch into a sheet)
  • Rice crispy treats or marshmallow fluff – 1 cup
  • Gummy worms or licorice ropes – 1 cup
  • Mini marshmallows – ½ cup
  • Fruity candies – ½ cup
  • Optional: Chocolate or caramel drizzle for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: Flatten the rice crispy treats on a piece of wax paper until smooth, or alternatively spread marshmallow fluff evenly to create a solid base sheet.
  2. Stretch the cotton candy: Gently stretch a sheet of cotton candy over a clean, dry surface to form a thin, uniform layer to wrap around the fillings.
  3. Add the fillings: Arrange gummy worms, mini marshmallows, and your choice of fruity candies in the center of the cotton candy sheet, spreading them evenly but leaving room at the edges for rolling.
  4. Roll the sushi: Carefully roll the cotton candy around the fillings tightly, using the wax paper or your hands to help shape the roll without tearing the cotton candy.
  5. Slice and serve: Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces resembling sushi rolls, and serve immediately for best texture and presentation. Optionally, drizzle with chocolate or caramel for an extra touch.

Notes

  • Work quickly as cotton candy can dissolve or stick easily when exposed to moisture.
  • Use a clean, dry surface to prevent the cotton candy from melting or becoming sticky.
  • If marshmallow fluff is used, it acts as an adhesive to hold fillings in place and maintain the shape.
  • Serve immediately; the texture is best when fresh.
  • Customize your candy fillings to suit preferences and occasion.
