For my nephew’s birthday party, I made a ‘dessert sushi’ platter. I made Rice Krispie treats and cut them into sushi sized pieces. Then I topped each one with red licorice and other candy to simulate the fish that normally goes on sushi. You keep it on the rice by using a bit of frosting as glue. And for the dessert maki rolls I cut up Twinkies into fours and wrapped each section in piece of a green fruit roll-up using the frosting glue to keep it together. I put everything on a mirrored platter, with little bowls of chocolate sauce for ‘dipping the sushi’. The kids loved it and all the Moms wanted to know how I did it.
