Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 280g (10-ounce) bag of mini marshmallows
- 6 cups (about 170g) Fruity Pebbles cereal
Optional Fillings
- Gummy worms
- Swedish Fish
- Colorful Fruit Roll-Ups
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workstation: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking tin or large baking sheet with butter or non-stick spray, then line it with a piece of baking parchment that overhangs the sides for easier handling later.
- Melt the Marshmallows: In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, melt the butter completely. Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until they have fully melted into a smooth, glossy mixture. Be careful not to burn the marshmallows.
- Combine with Cereal: Remove the pan from heat immediately, then gently fold in the Fruity Pebbles cereal with a greased spatula until evenly coated, taking care not to crush the cereal.
- Press and Flatten: Quickly turn the mixture onto the prepared parchment. Cover with a second greased sheet of parchment, then press or roll the mixture into an even rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Add Your Fillings (Optional): Remove the top parchment sheet and arrange desired fillings like gummy worms or licorice laces in a straight line along one long edge of the rectangle.
- Roll It Up!: Using the bottom parchment sheet to help, carefully roll the mixture into a tight log starting from the edge with the fillings. Apply gentle, consistent pressure to compact the roll.
- Chill and Set: Wrap the sushi log in baking parchment or cling film and refrigerate for at least 20-30 minutes to firm up, which will help with clean slicing.
- Slice and Serve: Once set, unwrap the roll and cut into 1-inch thick rounds using a large sharp knife lightly greased with butter or cooking spray. Arrange the slices on a serving platter and enjoy!
Notes
- Grease your spatula, hands, parchment, and knife to prevent sticking from the marshmallow mixture.
- Work quickly as the marshmallow mixture hardens soon after being removed from heat.
- Fold the cereal gently to avoid crushing and keep the colors vibrant.
- Roll the log tightly for neat, round sushi pieces.
- Chilling before slicing is crucial to prevent squashing the roll.
- Store leftover sushi pieces in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, separating layers with parchment to prevent sticking.
- Check the packaging to confirm Fruity Pebbles and marshmallows are gluten-free if needed.
