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!

We had the best time at the Hits Deep Tour in Spok We had the best time at the Hits Deep Tour in Spokane with TobyMac 🌟🎤

Why is he such a great influence?

TobyMac has been creating and performing music for more than 40 years. From his early days with DC Talk to his solo career, he’s consistently used his creativity and platform to encourage people and boldly point them toward Jesus.

We’re so thankful for artists who bring high energy, excellence, and faith together in a way our whole family can enjoy. Nights like this aren’t just fun. They’re meaningful.

We love making family memories like this! 💛

If you’ve ever been to a TobyMac show, you know the joy is contagious.

Some homeschool days are smooth, others are hard. Some homeschool days are smooth, others are hard. 😌 We try to appreciate the journey!

Confidence is built when kids learn to keep trying, even when it’s frustrating. We remind our kids to take the first step… and then the next. To us, progress matters more than perfection.

We believe diligence grows when our kids know they’re capable, and supported.

🙌 We trust God with the growth, and we show up for the daily work.

💬 Does anyone else have days where perseverance is the real lesson?

We’re home right now, but we’re still going on adv We’re home right now, but we’re still going on adventures! 😊📣📚

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 — while we take a pause from exploring new places.

A lot of people ask if I miss traveling. Honestly, I don’t right now. 😀✨ I’m really enjoying this purposeful season of family life and growth. When the time feels right, we’ll plan our next adventure. 🗺️
