Fruit Roll-up snacks

To follow up with my last Fruit Roll-Up blog, I found a website that had cute ideas to make with fruit roll ups. A sushi idea came up when I goggled fruit roll ups and I decided to try them. It was fun and a very cute way to make snacks. It sounds like a weird combination of snacks, but it was actually a good blended taste. Its an easy, cheap recipe that is fun to make without much mess. The website gives these directions:

3 Hostess Twinkies

Assorted dried fruits

Assorted fruity candies

2 green fruit roll ups

Dried mangoes (looks like pickled ginger)

DIRECTIONS: Slice Hostess Twinkies into pieces about an inch tall. Slice fruit roll ups in strips to be long enough and wide enough to wrap around the Hostess Twinkie pieces. Wrap the fruit roll ups around the Hostess Twinkie pieces. Place dried fruits and candies into the cream filling. Place Twinkie rolls on a plate or in a bento box. Garnish with strips of dried mango to resemble pickled ginger and serve with chopsticks. Wasabi is an option but most likely fairly disgusting with Twinkies.

The recipe was originally made at Planet Twinkie people say that it is a hip and tropical flavored recipe. But this is not a good snack for vegetarians, this sushi is also not good because Twinkies are made with beef fat.

I would recommend making these for parties with a lot of guests, they are fast and easy to make in large numbers. They are a good treat for a discussion piece and it really does look like sushi! Mine didn't turn out as good, so I used the picture from the website.
