Step 3
Trim the cereal sheets into rectangles
Allow the mixture to cool completely. Then use a knife to cut each sheet in half, trimming the edges of the sheets to make six rectangles.

Step 4
Place candy at the end of the sheets, and roll
Place a few gummy worms, fish, or licorice sticks at the short edge of one cereal sheet. Roll the sheet around the candy once, until the cereal just overlaps, and then trim the remainder.

Step 5
Wrap a fruit roll-up around the candy roll
Wrap fruit leather tightly around your candy roll. Gently squeeze it to make your sushi together.

Continue to roll and cut candy sushi, and serve
Continue to roll and cut candy sushi until all of the cereal sheets are gone. Then arrange them on a plate, get your chopsticks, and eat.
