Ingredients
Scale
Base Mixture
- 2 cups mini marshmallows (melted)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cups crispy rice cereal
- ½ cup Fruity Pebbles cereal (for mix)
Cream Cheese Filling
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Assembly
- 1 large fruit roll-up (any flavor)
- ½ cup Fruity Pebbles (for coating)
Instructions
- Melt the Butter and Marshmallows: In a saucepan over low heat, gently melt the butter. Add the mini marshmallows and stir slowly until the mixture is completely smooth, about 5 minutes.
- Combine with Cereals: Remove the saucepan from heat. Fold in the crispy rice cereal and ½ cup of Fruity Pebbles carefully to keep the crunch intact.
- Form the Base Rectangle: Lay out a piece of wax paper and press the cereal mixture into a 9″x12″ rectangle shape. Allow it to cool for about 5 minutes to set slightly.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until creamy and smooth.
- Spread Filling and Add Fruit Roll-Up: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cereal base. Place the fruit roll-up on top of the cream cheese layer.
- Roll the Sushi Log: Using the wax paper, carefully and tightly roll the assembled ingredients into a log shape and twist the ends to secure.
- Coat and Slice: Roll the log in the remaining Fruity Pebbles cereal to coat the outside. Slice the roll into 1-inch pieces to create sushi-like bites.
Notes
- Use wax paper or parchment paper to make rolling easier and prevent sticking.
- Chilling the cereal rectangle slightly before spreading the cream cheese can help it hold better.
- For a more colorful appearance, use a variety of fruit roll-up flavors or Fruity Pebbles.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- This recipe can be easily doubled for larger groups or parties.
