Tasty Fruity Pebbles Sushi Recipe
Introduction
Fruity Pebbles Sushi is a fun and colorful twist on classic cereal treats that looks just like sushi rolls. With simple ingredients and an easy method, this recipe is perfect for a playful snack or party dessert that kids and adults will love.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 280g (10-ounce) mini marshmallows
- 6 cups (around 170g) Fruity Pebbles cereal
- Optional fillings: gummy worms, Swedish Fish, or colorful Fruit Roll-Ups
Instructions
- Step 1: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking tin or large baking sheet with butter or non-stick spray. Line the base with a piece of baking parchment leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- Step 2: Melt the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth. Avoid burning.
- Step 3: Remove from heat and immediately add the Fruity Pebbles cereal. Gently fold with a greased spatula until evenly coated, being careful not to crush the cereal.
- Step 4: Turn the mixture onto the prepared parchment. Place another greased parchment sheet on top and press the mixture into a 1/4-inch thick, even rectangle using a rolling pin or your hands.
- Step 5: If using fillings, remove the top parchment and arrange gummy worms, licorice, or other sweets in a straight line along one long edge of the rectangle.
- Step 6: Using the bottom parchment to help, carefully lift and roll the mixture from the filled edge into a tight log, squeezing gently to keep it compact.
- Step 7: Wrap the log securely in parchment or cling film and chill in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes until firm.
- Step 8: Unwrap and place on a cutting board. Using a buttered or sprayed sharp knife, slice into 1-inch rounds. Arrange on a platter and serve immediately.

FAQs
Can I use regular marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?
Yes, but mini marshmallows melt more evenly and quickly, giving a smoother texture. If using regular marshmallows, cut them into smaller pieces to help them melt faster.
What other fillings work well inside Fruity Pebbles sushi?

Ingredients
For the Sushi Base
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 (280g / 10-ounce) bag mini marshmallows
- 6 cups (about 170g) Fruity Pebbles cereal
Optional Fillings
- Gummy worms
- Swedish Fish candies
- Colorful Fruit Roll-Ups or licorice laces
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workstation: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking tin or large baking sheet with butter or non-stick spray. Line it with a piece of baking parchment, allowing the parchment to overhang the sides for easy lifting later.
- Melt the Marshmallows: In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until the mixture is completely melted, smooth, and glossy. Avoid letting it burn by keeping the heat low and stirring constantly.
- Combine with Cereal: Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the Fruity Pebbles cereal. Gently fold the cereal into the marshmallow mixture using a greased spatula until evenly coated. Be careful not to crush the cereal pieces.
- Press and Flatten: Quickly transfer the mixture onto your prepared baking parchment. Place another greased parchment sheet on top and use a rolling pin or your hands to press it into a thin, even rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Add Your Fillings (Optional): Remove the top parchment sheet. Arrange gummy worms, licorice laces, or other candies in a straight line along one long edge of the rectangle.
- Roll It Up: Using the bottom parchment sheet, carefully lift and roll the mixture tightly from the filled edge to form a compact log. Gently squeeze as you roll to keep it tight.
- Chill and Set: Wrap the sushi log securely in baking parchment or cling film and refrigerate for at least 20-30 minutes so it firms up, making slicing easier and cleaner.
- Slice and Serve: Unwrap the chilled log and place it on a cutting board. Using a large sharp knife lightly greased with butter or spray, cut into 1-inch thick rounds. Arrange your Fruity Pebbles sushi on a serving platter and enjoy!
Notes
- Use mini marshmallows for a quicker, more even melt.
- Work quickly after mixing to prevent marshmallow from setting before shaping.
- Greasing the spatula, parchment, and knife helps prevent sticking.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite gummy candies or fruit-based sweets for filling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days for best texture.
