If you can’t quite wrap your brain around eating raw fish and seaweed, approach the sushi craze with some sweetness. Instead of seaweed, rice, avocado and raw tuna, this sushi involves some childhood favorites: Rice Krispies, Fruit Roll-Ups, Twizzlers and gummy worms. Great for parties, a creative way to spend a Saturday afternoon or for pretending you’re a Nobu champ, this recipe is worth ruining your appetite for dinner.
