Print Recipe

A playful and easy-to-make sweet treat that mimics sushi using cotton candy and fruit leather, perfect for kids’ parties and quick snacks.

Ingredients

  • Cotton candy (choose favorite flavors and colors, about 30 grams or 1 ounce per sushi piece)
  • Fruit leather (strawberry, mango, mixed berry, or gummy candy sheets as seaweed wrap)
  • Gummy candies or small fruit gummies (optional, for toppings)
  • Sprinkles or edible glitter (optional, for decoration)
  • Mini marshmallows (optional, for rice grain accents or extra fluff)
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting to prevent stickiness)
  • Honey or corn syrup (optional, a tiny dab to help fruit leather stick)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace by laying out a clean cutting board and gathering all ingredients and equipment.
  2. Cut the fruit leather into strips about 1-1.5 inches wide and 4-5 inches long using scissors.
  3. Gently pull small clumps of cotton candy roughly the size of a golf ball (about 30 grams or 1 ounce) to mimic sushi rice balls.
  4. Place the cotton candy clump on a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper and gently press it into a rectangular or oval shape about 3 inches long and 1 inch wide.
  5. Wrap the fruit leather strip around the cotton candy base, using a tiny dab of honey or corn syrup if needed to help it stick.
  6. Add toppings such as gummy candies, mini marshmallows, edible glitter, or sprinkles on top of the sushi rolls.
  7. Lightly dust the cotton candy sushi with powdered sugar if desired to reduce stickiness.
  8. Serve immediately as cotton candy dissolves quickly in humidity. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for a few hours if needed.

Notes

Keep hands dry and work quickly to prevent cotton candy from melting. Use plastic wrap to help shape and prevent sticking. Use pliable fruit leather for best results. Serve immediately for best texture.
