Faux sushi? Oh heck yeah! I’ve actually tried this sushi candy in the video below, but my end result ended up looking more like a mis-shapen wad of gum. Watch the pro:

If you’re not into the geeky sushi, you can make them out of rice crispies and fruit roll-ups like Mommy Knows. Sugar me out, baby!

  8. OK, I just looked at the video… and is it me or did it feel a little like “Easy Bake Oven”, except nothing was baked. I think I prefer the twinkie/rice crispie/donut versions, using gummy fish and fruit roll-ups than that strange powdery gelatinous stuff!
