Not that these sweet treats aren’t good enough as is,
but why not make them into something else? With a few other Passover delights,
your child can help you to whip up a batch of candy sushi. This is super-simple
and involves no cooking (unless you count microwaving—which isn’t really
cooking).
You can make a variety of Passover candy sushi or pick
one to focus on. I’ve included a few different ideas, but brainstorm with your
child to come up with a few of your own unique ‘recipes’.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
·
Jelly slices
·
Coconut-covered marshmallows (Manischewitz
makes kosher ones)
·
Macaroons – The kosher kind, not the
fluffy French ones.
·
Taffy strips
Here’s What to Do:
To make rolls—
1. Stretch
out a piece of green taffy. If it won’t budge, pop it into the microwave for a
few (and I mean a few) seconds. Do not allow your child to touch the hot taffy.
Watch the candy closely so that it doesn’t bubbles.
2. Press
a marshmallow onto one end of the taffy. Squish it flat.
3. Slice
a jelly into strips.
4. Place
the strips onto the marshmallow.
5. Roll
the marshmallow around the jelly pieces, pressing it together at the ends.
6. Roll
the whole thing up in the taffy strip, smooshing it closed at the edges.
Other ideas—
1. Press
a coconut marshmallow flat.
2. Cut
the jellies into ling, thin triangle-shaped slices.
3. Put
two slices on top of the marshmallow.
4. Pull
and roll a piece of warm taffy into a thin tube.
5. Wrap
the candy sushi up with the taffy by pressing it around the middle.
Or try
1. Slice
the bottom of a macaroon off.
2. Cut
the ‘rind’ from a green fruit jelly slice.
3. Slice
another colored jelly into strips.
4. Put
the strips on top of the macaroon.
5. Cover
with the rind in the middle.
Serve the candy sushi up on one plate, pack them in a
container to give away to a friend or eat it right away. Remind your child that
the taffy and jelly candies are sticky. Very young children should not eat this
treat as it presents a choking hazard.

ReplyDeleteThanks! My son is 13, and he did most of the preparing for this one. I wish I could say he did most of the eating too, but they were so good that I couldn't help myself.
