DIY Candy Sushi

by Katie Wallace | Updated: June 29, 2017

I love coming up with creative ideas for kids’ parties and dinner with friends. Unique treats are a fun creative outlet for a mom that friends and kids will enjoy. This easy candy sushi is easy to make using fruit roll-ups, marshmallows, and assorted gummy candy. Candy sushi will be the highlight of any party!

Make this fun candy sushi with a handful of candy supplies and sweet snacks.

  • Prepare the candy “seaweed wraps” by cutting strips of green fruit roll-up, about 1 inch wide and 4 inches long.
  • Wrap each fruit roll-up strip around a large marshmallow, using a bit of water on the end of the fruit roll-up to stick it down.
  • Gently make a hole in the center of each marshmallow and insert small pieces of colorful gummy candy, keeping the ends even so the top of the candy sushi is flat.
  • Arrange the candy sushi on your buffet table or dessert plate and enjoy!
  • Experiment with using Swedish fish and sprinkles to embellish your candy sushi and create a sweet sushi assortment!

This homeschool semester started with the things our kids love most: focused learning, creative projects, and staying active. Right now that looks like basketball, cheer, and lots focused school days.

These home seasons matter. They give our kids space to build skills, explore interests, and settle into routines โ€” while we take a pause from exploring new places.

A lot of people ask if I miss traveling. Honestly, I donโ€™t right now. ๐Ÿ˜€โœจ Iโ€™m really enjoying this purposeful season of family life and growth. When the time feels right, weโ€™ll plan our next adventure. ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ
