Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Fruity Pebbles Sushi

Step 1: Prep the Setup
Gather all your ingredients on a clean workspace, including marshmallows, Fruity Pebbles cereal, and any optional fillings like gummy sweets or mini chocolate chips. Have butter or non-stick spray ready to grease your hands. This preparation ensures a smooth experience as you create your Fruity Pebbles Sushi.

Step 2: Melt Marshmallows
In a large saucepan, combine 4 cups of marshmallows over low heat. Stir continuously for about 5–7 minutes until the marshmallows have completely melted into a smooth, gooey mixture. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning, and once silky, remove the pan from heat before moving on to the next step.

Step 3: Combine Cereal
Quickly add 6 cups of Fruity Pebbles cereal to the melted marshmallows, stirring gently to coat every piece. This should take about 1-2 minutes. The colorful cereal will absorb the marshmallow mixture, creating a beautiful, sticky blend that forms the base of your Fruity Pebbles Sushi.

Step 4: Form Sushi Rolls
Lay a large piece of parchment paper on your work surface. Pour the marshmallow-cereal mixture onto the parchment and use your greased hands to flatten it out evenly into a rectangle, about ½ inch thick. If using fillings, now is the time to sprinkle them across the mixture. Carefully roll it tightly, using the parchment to guide you into a log shape.

Step 5: Slice
Once your log is formed, let it sit for about 10 minutes to set slightly. Afterward, use a sharp knife to cut the sushi into 1-inch pieces, resembling sushi rolls. The vibrant colors should shine through, showcasing your delightful Fruity Pebbles Sushi.

Step 6: Store
Place the sliced Fruity Pebbles Sushi pieces in a single layer inside an airtight container. If you have more than one layer, use parchment paper between them to prevent sticking. This treat will stay fresh for up to three days at room temperature, allowing you to enjoy this no-bake delight whenever the craving strikes!
