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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
