DIY Candy Sushi Tutorial – Great Birthday Party Idea

in DIY / Tutorials, Family, General

Lizzy turned 10 yesterday! I know it’s cliche, but time flies. Where is my baby? Who is this BIG girl who longs for skinny jeans and earrings?

happy birthday lizzy

We had a home party on Friday with some Rockband, hot dogs, cake pops and candy sushi. The candy sushi was the craft and the take home treat. Yes, I am a cheapskate.

The sushi was inexpensive and easy, more importantly the kids had fun. One child told me it was the best party she’d ever been to. I’m not quite sure if she’s been party deprived or an ass-kisser, but she certainly scored points with this mommy.

Here’s how it’s done:

candy sushi

rice krispie treats

I used this recipe to make up a batch of Rice Krispie squares. I added 8 extra marshmallows to the recipe to make sure they wouldn’t be too crispy. I used the microwave instructions, they worked perfectly.

candy sushi

trimmed

Once they had cooled, I trimmed up the slabs of Rice Krispie treats into nice neat rectangles and stacked them on wax paper for the party. I wanted to make it as easy as possible for the kids. Georgia and I enjoyed eating all the trimmings.

ready for the party

In the end, I made 3 full batches of Rice Krispie Squares one after the other, to get 8 thin slabs for the party and a couple of practice slabs for Georgia and I. It took about 20 minutes total.

I’ve never made candy sushi before, so I thought I’d better practice before I tried it out on the kids. As you can imagine Georgia was extra excited. I sat her across from me at the kitchen table and pretended she was the birthday party. I figured if I could get a three year old on a sugar high to make candy sushi, then I could handle a gang of 10 year olds.

candy sushi

twizzlers and gummy worms work well

Add candy. I bought colored twizzlers, gummi worms, jujube fish and fruit roll-ups.

roll tightly

Roll the Rice Krispie treats around the candy.

looking good

Don’t roll it more than one full roll. You don’t want it to be too thick.

candy sushi

trim excess

Trim the excess with a sharp knife.

a better mom than I would have brushed her hair before now

Georgia was having a good time.

my mom rocks!

Make sure you allow snacking!

sticky sweet

Once you’ve trimmed the roll, wrap the fruit roll up around it (squeeze). Green fruit roll-ups would be best, but I couldn’t find them. I left the plastic wrap on my roll-up while I applied it to the candy, none of the kids bothered to do this. It works well both ways, just make sure to remove it before cutting.

adult supervision required

Now it’s time to cut your candy roll into to cute California roll style sushi. You’ll need a sharp knife to get through the gummy worms and twizzlers in the center. Georgia wanted to do it herself. I let her … practice makes perfect.

candy sushi

all 10 fingers intact

For all the worry-warts out there, the cutting was accompanied by repeated safety warnings. She survived the cutting with all of her fingers in tact.

candy sushi

pretty candy sushi

The nice thing about not finding green fruit roll-ups is the pretty product. I’m loving the colors.

candy sushi

candy nigiri roll

I made the slabs long enough for each child to make two rolls of candy sushi. They then used any leftovers to make a Nigiri style sushi. I also gave each of them a ‘bento box’ to take home their creations. It curbed the urge to eat it all.

candy sushi

easy-peasy

Georgia managed to make these with no help at all.

  • emily September 27, 2009, 1:51 pm

    hahahahahahhaha
    you. are. a. retard. “concerned mom”.

    get out of here, your kids must hate you lol

  • Bianca February 4, 2010, 1:42 pm

    @emily, LOL…Agreed! Get a life! Give your kids some independence! They will love you more for it!

  • Fliptrx November 3, 2009, 1:36 pm

    @CONCERNED MOM,

    I’ve made it to seventy and had a mom that let me play with all kinds of scary dangerous toys and sharp objects like scissors, with real points…and knives for Mumbley Peg etc. In fact most of my generation made it just fine.

    We were taught to respect our toys, and our tools and were taught to use them properly. Unlike today, most busy bodys were too busy trying to raise their own kids instead of telling everyone else how to raise theirs.

    I’d suggest you get a life!

  • Fliptrx November 3, 2009, 1:38 pm

    @Fliptrx,

    DAMN, people like you really make me angry!

  • MommyKnows November 7, 2009, 5:35 pm

    @Fliptrx, Amen!

  • Kimberly August 25, 2010, 3:11 am

    @MommyKnows, I defenetly agree that this is a great recipe. My son is having his 5th bday in a few days and im making these for him. CONCERNED MOM is crazy and retarted. I dont know if i would have let my son use a knife at 3 but im a little parnoid myself. I think all kids need to be taught these things at a semi young age so they know how to do it. I will be teaching him how to do things like that this year. I think you did a fine job with the teaching of knife use. Supervised and gets to learn…great idea. No complaints from me. Keep doing what you do!

  • MommyKnows August 27, 2010, 6:09 pm

    @Kimberly, Thanks Kimberly. Happy birthday you to your boy :)

  • seriously?? May 24, 2010, 4:57 pm

    @CONCERNED MOM, WOW! Seriously?!?!?!… she was being supervised and had instruction..I say that it was an excellent learning opportunity… teaching her how to safetly use knives under supervision… I think it was an awesome idea and including your kids in the learning process — what more could you want? I included my sister growing up in the learning process in the kicthen and now she can make and bake all her own food from scratch and knows how to cook dinner if she wants too (shes 14)… she LOVES to be in the kicthen and cook food! I think its an awesome skill that so many kids are now deprived of its sad…….. cooking is a very valuable skill to have in this day an age! I say all credit to mommyknows……. And yeah… take the hint – get a life (and maybe allow your own kids if you have them freedom and space under supervison… its a precious and valuable gift!)

  • chelsea October 16, 2010, 12:37 pm

    @CONCERNED MOM, haha OH NO! A CHILD WAS ALLOWED TO CUT FOOD!!! please call the cops! lol whateverrr. kids are a lot more capable of doing things than you may think. give a kid a chance to try things on his or her own. you would be suprised and amazed at what kids can do!

  • emily October 26, 2015, 9:50 pm

    you are so right

  • I agree, BUT i think ;once they are 5, they are allowed to use plastic knives, once they are 6, they are allowed to use butter knives, once they are 8, I will let them handle a (silverware) knife on their own, once they are 11, they are allowed to handle steak knives on their own, once they are 16, they can handle any other knives.

  • Jodi Renshaw March 24, 2009, 8:39 pm

    Happy Birthday Big Girl …. 2 digits now!

    And I absolutely love your party idea and treats. I am going to have to try this. Will let you know how mine come out. Thanks so much for sharing :)

    Love,

  • Jodi Renshaw March 24, 2009, 8:40 pm

    Ummmmmm….. is “Concerned Mom” for real? And if so, would it be inappropriate for me to kick her ass?

  • Mik March 24, 2009, 8:46 pm

  • TheIowaKid March 24, 2009, 8:51 pm

    Wow I have to say “CONCERNED MOM” is going to have some very unwanted kids in society if they are as deprived as she sounds….back to whats important here….YOU are a awesome Mom with excellent ideas! Letting your kids partake in the preparation of their siblings social events only readies them for a very social life. We all know that this is a key to being very happy and fulfilled. “CONCERNED MOM” is the one that locks her kids up in their rooms and has laser alarms on their windows. They grow up hating her and society! DYFUS needs to be looking for her. What a loon.

  • Ink March 24, 2009, 10:36 pm

    Wait, maybe it’s spelled “rockin’est”? You know what I mean, though, right? As in “You rock”! :D

    Aww! That’s amazing. You rock!

    Brilliant! I love it. What an awesome party idea. I think I may borrow it for grown-ups… :D

    Ok, and you know you’re the best mom ever (except my mom of course, Hi Mom!). I know you won’t stress yourself over “Concerned Mom”‘s comment. It’s obvious that Georgia was supervised, had safety warnings, and had the joy of doing something for herself, learning how to be careful and developing her senses of independence, ability and accomplishment. Awesome lessons and something that both you and she can take pride in.

    I would have so many more cavities if I grew up in your household, but it’d be worth it. I love gummy bears.

  • John March 25, 2009, 12:15 pm

    The recipe seems nice, although I can’t help feeling that all of the 10 year olds I know (lots) would be patronised being taken through all of this. Maybe things are just different across the pond.

  • Lisa December 20, 2010, 5:24 pm

    @John, I don’t understand this comment
    at all. Kids would feel patronized by cooking?? My daughter and I
    are making these right now for her International Day holiday party
    at school tomorrow. She got Japan and we couldn’t find anything
    Japanese to bring in, so we’re improvising on sushi with these
    treats. So far, I think my base isn’t cooled down enough because
    it’s pulling apart when I try to roll it, so I’m giving it more
    time.

  • One Scrappy Gal March 25, 2009, 12:18 pm

    I love this idea and will have to try it!!

    Please post more stuff like this! Love reading it. :)

  • HaleyWoods March 25, 2009, 2:29 pm

    My boyfriend must think he is just one big kid because he stumbled this to me in hopes of a “Candy Sushi Party.” Now I am going to have to play “mommy” to a group of 25-30yr olds!

    … But I have to admit that I am also kinda excited about trying this!!!

  • jafer March 25, 2009, 3:05 pm

    Looks like a sushi I might actually eat! I’ve never made rice krispie squares in the microwave, but then I think I’ve only ever made them once or twice in my entire life, and now that there are no little kids here, I guess I’m not likely to make them again. (Although I have bought a big box of them already made at Costco while my daughter was still here.)

  • Jessi March 25, 2009, 3:15 pm

    This was an awesome idea. KUDOS!

    =)

  • DS901 March 25, 2009, 3:43 pm

    I’ve never been tempted to even try sushi until now. This is such a creative idea and especially since you got all the kids involved. I’m going to give this a try at our next party. My kids are 17 and 16 now, but they still enjoy crafts and games. Our last party included making a gingerbread house.

  • Kids Cakes March 25, 2009, 4:46 pm

    Sign me: Mom of 3 who lived to tell about it.

  • Auntie Gayle March 27, 2009, 7:26 am

    I just can’t leave this alone……..

    PS: to Concerned Mom. What is tragic is that YOU are a parent. Good luck to your kids. Unfortunately, luck alone will not prepare your misguided children to survive and most importantly, flourish!
    Now I’m going to shovel the 2 feet of snow off the driveway because I’m still having difficulty believing that someone as irrational as you can make me so profoundly enraged……..i.e.P.O.!

    Just curious though, how did the 10 year olds take to the idea? My guess is that they loved it.

    Brilliant!

  • Duggi March 27, 2009, 11:47 am

    I just stumbled upon this, and I had to comment.
    Woah. I’m almost 19 and I want to make this.
    Then I let my fianceé watch the pictures, and she’s all like.. “Why don’t you make things like this to me?”
    Living in Europe probably complicated getting all the “right” ingredients. But practice makes master, as everyone says.

    Thumbs up, though!

  • Lucid Dreamer March 27, 2009, 12:59 pm

    Ah! I love making sushi, it is one of my favorite things to make, from start to finish, it’s just a lot of fun, esp in a group. It had never occurred to me that something like candy sushi could be possible. Awesome article! It would be really fun to try this as my next sushi throwdown, maybe advertise it as sushi with sushi candy for dessert!

    Hey! I made these in cooking class recently. They were a big hit with us even–and we’re all in high school ^_^
    I remember I think I was the only one to make nigiri, though. Everyone else did just rolls. No fun for them :P

    My tips: use parchment paper instead of wax paper, it doesn’t stick as badly. Also, spray your hands with cooking oil while working with the rice crispy treats, it makes it SO much easier to handle!

    Great idea though! Thanks!

  • Aimee April 23, 2009, 9:32 am

    Love it! I do worry about my hyperactive child when it comes to candy coma’s, so we made these with FRUIT (banana, strawberry, mango,papyaya, pears) and the fruit juice type of fruit roll up. If she is getting fruit, it totally cancels out the marshmellows in the rice crispies anyway (mommy logic trumps daddy logic anyday). IT WAS YUMMY! Thanks for the inspiration.

  • Tori @ Thoughtfully Simple April 24, 2009, 4:06 pm

But really just the RKTreats… i’m not much of a fruit roll up kind of candy girl. Now, if they could make chocolate that could go around the RKTreat like the fruit rollup, i’d be all in!!!

    Mmm! I wonder if I can find what I need to make these here? I let my 3 year old son cut things, too . . . how are they going to learn, otherwise? He´s very careful and I let him cut up things like hot dogs and cooked veggies all the time. He´s never once cut his fingers.

    hey, was just stumbling upon this, and it looks amazing. had to comment and tell you, this is something i can do with my girlfriend when i go to visit her, she loves to cook and do little craft things like this.

    and, yet i cannot leave this alone either “concerned mom” sounds like my mom… your children will grow up to hate you if you act like this.

    P.s. i recently became a vegetarian and i consider fish to be meat, so this is some sushi i can actually eat :)

  • Josan June 20, 2009, 5:47 pm

    Had to comment..Love this! I will be making this SOON! Don’t let “Concerned Mom” get to you, what a twit. I do wonder, though, if the “dental floss trick” would work for the cutting? Especially for larger, “not-as-easily-supervised”, groups like Scouts, or any kids with a disability (where desire to do as everyone else does may not match with ability or motor skills).. Guess I’ll try it…Great tutorial, great site!

  • Joe June 21, 2009, 11:09 am

    Wonderful recipe, but this little girl has no business using a KNIFE, even if supervised. Isn’t she a tad too young? Come on, people.

    My daughter is graduating from college, she has an unending sweet tooth, she’s allergic to fish, and ALL her friends love sushi. This will be the hit of the party! Thanks for a GREAT idea. I need to put my two cents in re: “concerned mom”. It’s a substantiated fact more kids get hurt cutting with inadequate, not-sharp-enough plastic knives! Back in the day, I taught every girl in my daughters’ Girl Scout troop the importance of safe knife handling. Guess what? These girls (with all their digits) still comment that learning cooking skills (including knives) in my kitchen all those years ago gave them a love of cooking that got them through those “first out on my own” college years. Teach them, don’t deny them, and they’ll be better prepared for the real world.

It’s funny…my boyfriend is deployed and he’s coming back in December and was saying how, when he comes back, the first place he’s going to go is to a sushi restaurant, because he loves and misses sushi. I think I might prepare this and send it out in a decorative tin as a little surprise for him before he comes back :)

    thanks for the step by step instructions….love the pics with your daughter, along with the comment about her hair not being brushed…it made me smile. I will be forwarding this to my 20 year old daughter at college. Guarantee that she will make it this week-end. Thanks to you my 14 year old is now having sushi instead of cupcakes at her birthday party next week. :) You rock…by the way, my kids have handled knives from a young age…one is in nursing school, the other at the united states air force academy (with all their fingers) and a lot of responsibility because they were taught to use knives properly at a young age. Thanks!

  • Red Wines January 26, 2010, 2:02 am

    That’s a fantastic idea. Hopefully it will get kids into real sushi too because fish is good for the brain!

    Can you prepare the rice krispies sheets ahead of time? If so, how many days ahead, and how do you store them to keep them plyable? I’m thinking of having this for teens and I am sure they are going to want to make more that 1 roll. Thank you very much.

    THIS WAS GREAT!!! We made both kinds of candy sushi for my daughter’s 10th birthday over the weekend – I tried to find bento boxes, but settled for tupperware with lids that I let the girls decorate with markers and stickers. It was great! We also made flower lollipops (melted lifesavers on popsicle sticks – VERY cute) and put them into little flower pots I found for $1 each at Target, and rolled pretzel sticks in chocolate, then in different sprinkles, let them dry, then packed them in cellophane bags and tied them with ribbons – and “painted” with jellybeans, using frosting on aluminum-foil covered foam board I’d cut into squares. The girls were so creative. It was really fun to watch them.

    The only problem for me is, I made the rice krispies too marshmellowy, and probably didn’t let them cool and dry long enough, so the girls had a hard time rolling the sushi. I wound up having to make the sushi with each girl one-on-one while the others played and danced (we downloaded candy-themed music from itunes like tutti frutti and I’m a gummy bear, etc) But – THANKS for these great instructions and photos! We had a ball!

    If you line cupcakes up, circling round on a covered board, you
    can create a ‘caterpillar’ effect for a child’s birthday party.
    Although they are a beautiful and calming sight, making sugarcraft flower-topped cupcakes from scratch conjures up anything but calm.
    Use a hand batter and keep on batting the mixture

    Wow! How many days before a party can I make these and what’s the best way to store? Thanks!

    Dang, Candy Sushi is a great idea. I might make some just for myself.

    Thank you, thank you Kim for sharing this adorable and delicious craft. We made our sushi candy yesterday at my daughters 9th birthday party and it was a HUGE HIT. Making the rice krispie sheets were so easy and they tasted great. I followed your directions to the T and it all came out perfect. One little trick I would like to share is to use Pam to keep the sheets from sticking to the wax paper. It was super helpful. Thank you again.

    Those look good but I really do not want to be your kid. Byeee!!!

  • Karine December 2, 2016, 1:47 pm

    It’s such a great idea! My kids just love sushi. We had some last year, made by our “elves” during Christmas time. Thank you so much for the inspiration! I posted a photo on my blog, if you want to have a look ;) https://monpetitkoala.com/2016/12/01/nos-lutins-troisieme-annee/

    I really think concerned mom was being sarcastic, but as usual, people can’t take a joke

    found green but eyeeee! roll up is sticking to it’s wrapper and coming off in tiny bits! suggestions?

    Hi there. SUCH a cute idea. I am thinking of doing this with a large group of Elementary aged kids. There wont be one-on -one attention– more like one adult per table. With this in mind, do you think that a plastic knife would cut through the roll adequately or is it too firm at that point? Thanks so much.

    Thank you so much for this genius idea! Funnily enough, my girl is turning 10 in a few weeks and wants a hibachi party at our local place. We are getting a party room and I was looking for an extra activity. This seems perfect. Judging by the dates, it seems that yours turned 10 a while ago! In any case, this popped up in a google search and I am definitely going to use it. Thanks so much for posting.
