Rice Krispie Sushi

DANA SHORTT | Owner of Dana Shortt Gourmet &

Here’s a fun “baking” project to tackle with your kids or grandkids this summer – we’ll all need to get a bit creative at home with Camps being cancelled again this year.

My boys love making Rice Krispie sushi, and it couldn’t be easier: “no recipe required” kind of easy! Kids have a blast decorating and eating this style of “sushi”.

First, prepare a pan of Rice Krispie squares according to the recipe right on the box. Let it sit for a couple hours (so that it isn’t sticky).

For “maki” type sushi rolls, simply roll out your “nori”, which in this case is fruit roll ups. Cut a rectangular piece of Rice Krispie TM from the pan (about 1½” by 5”) to fit the length of the fruit rollup.

Just roll to cover the rice krispie treats, then press to seal. Cut each roll into 5 or 6 pieces and top with your choice of hard or soft candy.

For “nigiri” type sushi, simply cut small, 1” x 2” pieces of rice krispies from the pan, top with a Swedish fish candy, and then wrap with a ¼” strip of fruit roll-up.

Enjoy!
