  • Why is it that whenever we're doing good there is always someone or something that seems to always kick us when we're... up? While I can't answer this eternal question, I can assure you that though sabotage is here to stay, it's something you can combat with a little strategy.

Candy Sushi  

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter

1 (16-ounce) package miniature marshmallows

 5 to 6 cups crisp rice cereal

14 to 16 fruit roll-ups 8 strawberry or licorice Twizzlers

  Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat.  Add the marshmallows and cook until the marshmallows are melted and the mixture is smooth, stirring constantly.  Remove from the heat and add the cereal 2 cups at a time until reaching the desired consistency, mixing gently after each addition.  Unroll the fruit roll-ups on waxed paper.  Cut the Twizzlers to the length of a roll-up.  Place a few spoonfuls of the cereal mixture onto each roll-up.  Press a Twizzler into the cereal mixture.  Roll to enclose the cereal, pressing the Twizzler so that it remains in the center to resemble a sushi roll.  Cut the candy sushi into slices using a sharp knife that has been dipped in warm water.  Arrange the slices on a serving platter or tray.  

Yield: about 96 pieces
