Sushi, anyone?

My boys are obsessed with sushi. They certainly have never eaten it. I don't even know if they've ever seen it. I'm thinking they must have talked about it on iCarly or something. Anyway, I saw some candy sushi on a blog last night and we made some today. This is sooooooooo very, very easy!!! It even tastes as good as it looks!

Here's the how to:
-pre-made Rice Krispie Treats
-gelly Orange Slices
-Swedish Fish
-Fruit roll-ups (I bought several boxes in order to have enough green ones but you don't actually need too many because you are cutting them into strips.)

For the Swedish fish sushi, I just cut the krispie treat in half, put the fish on top and wrapped it with a strip of fruit roll-up.
For the Orange slice sushi, I flattened out the krispie treat just with my fingers, sliced the tip off of two orange slices, laid them next to each other on the krispie treat, and started rolling as carefully and tightly as I could. Then I cut it in half and wrapped it with fruit roll-up.
Easy, peasy and adorable. I even added the chop-sticks and "sliced ginger" (sliced orange slices) for effect.
If I were really with-it, I would have added some chocolate syrup in a tiny little bowl as soy sauce.
BTW, I did try to find some cheap little square sushi plates, but couldn't find any. It's times like this that I really wish we had a World Market or Bed, Bath and Beyond in Mt. Zion!!!
