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!

πŸ’‘ Essential tips for traveling with our 4 kids! 🧳 πŸ’‘ Essential tips for traveling with our 4 kids!

🧳 Pack light with items that do more

We bring clothes that mix and match, quick-dry layers, fold-flat totes, and activities that encourage creativity. Think art supplies and travel board games. The less we carry, the more we can explore.

πŸ₯ͺ Eat often and try new flavors
We use snack stops and meals to experience local culture. Bakeries, fruit stands, and small cafΓ©s become our favorite spots. 

🏞️ Choose simple adventures over packed days
We go on kid-friendly hikes, stop at playgrounds, and tour cultural centers. We visit great houses, historic workhouses, and local museums.

πŸ“± Use screens sparingly
Ideally our kids only use screens on travel days, and with a time limit. Shows and multi-player games can help turn dull afternoons into family fun!

πŸ”¦ Encourage curiosity
We explore as much as we can with our four kids, shopping at markets, using public transportation, and visiting immersive attractions. We find many free activities, and budget for must-see destinations. 

➑️ Which of these travel tips would help your family the most?
