Super Kawaii! Candy sushi!

That's right folks - I tackled candy sushi and lived to tell the tale! This is certainly one of the messier programs I've done recently, but one what was definitely a hit. That's not all though- I also made Domo-kun cupcakes with my teens during that same program. It was sugar overload!!! (Ha ha and then I sent them home to their parents)

Things needed for candy sushi:
-Fruit Roll-ups or fruit leather
-Marshmallow fluff (or you can use butter and melt marshmallows)
- Green Sour Punch Straws (for wasabi - I used green icing though)
- Gummy fish (I used Swedish Fish)

- Chocolate syrup optional (for soy sauce)

-Rice Krispies or other rice cereal

If you know how to make sushi, then there's really no explanation necessary. In case you don't, make it was follows:
-Mix together a couple of tablespoons of marshmallow fluff and about a 1/4 cup of Rice Krispies.
- Spread out Fruit Roll-up on a piece of wax paper, and spread marshmallow mixture on it, leaving about a 1" gap clear on one side of the roll-up.
-Place fish and any other ingredients in the middle of the rice, and then roll up, starting on side with the rice, and finishing with the blank side.
- If you have the time, it wouldn't hurt to put it in the fridge to allow the marshmallow to set up. Otherwise, take your roll and cut it up into bite-sized pieces. Enjoy!

I am lucky enough to have a coworker who owns a lot of sushi dishes and chopsticks, and she lent them to me for this program. There were a few teens who had never used chopsticks before, and trying to show them was an adventure. I personally think it's too much sugar and wanted to puke after eating it, but they loved it!

On to the cupcakes! These are really simple, and as I had only a picture to look at, kinda had to make it up. You will need:
-Chocolate cake mix
-Chocolate frosting
-Chocolate sprinkles
-M&Ms
-Fruit Roll-Ups
-White Icing (You may omit this and the Fruit Roll-ups if you're lucky enough to get your hands on some fondant. I was working on this at the last minute, so I couldn't get that). I think you can figure out what to do with this if you look at the picture. Just take the cupcakes, cover them with icing and sprinkles, and then add M&M eyes, and a mouth w/teeth. Traditionally, Domo has brown eyes, but my teens used all sorts of colors for theirs.

Super Kawaii!
