Josie’s Swedish Fish Rolls
Ingredients
(But please, use the gelatin-free kind, because gelatin = gross. And as my friend Spencer says, beef candy is not a thing.)
2 cups puffed rice cereal
4 Fruit Roll-Ups
Swedish Fish
(The number of Swedish Fish is up to you. My rule of thumb is as many Swedish Fish as you need for the recipe, allowing for the fact that you will eat them as you make the sushi because Swedish Fish are delish.)
Directions
1. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat and add marshmallows. Stir marshmallows until completely melted.
Speaking of melted, that’s not at all how I feel around Chase Summers, no matter how good-looking he is.
I swear that man does not melt me. He does, however, entertain me, and that’s one of the many reasons I suggested we move in together.
Living with Chase will be like having HBO on all day.
Except, you know, minus the nudity. Unless I peek at him in the shower. And I’m totally not going to do that.
2. Add cereal and coat thoroughly.
3. Roll out the fruit roll-ups. Place 1/4 of the coated cereal onto each fruit roll-up and spread across.
4. Place a line of fish on the coated cereal.
5. Roll up the fruit roll-up with the crispy treat and the fish inside. Gently. Sushi candy needs a subtle, sensual touch.
6. Place a sharp knife into a bowl of very warm water. Slice. Serve.
7. Share with a friend.
Optional step: Pat self on back for having the most excellent idea of sharing an apartment with a good friend who makes you laugh and helps your business. We are such a great fit.
