Tips

  • For some real fun, serve with chopsticks and eat it the traditional way!
  • Use some strawberry, caramel, or chocolate syrup like soy sauce.
  • You can also use stuck-together licorice in place of the fruit roll up.
  • Make Rice Krispies Treats and use in place of the marshmallow or mini-donut.
  • For a less sugary and more realistic effect, use sliced fruit as the "fish" and inside the rolls, and/or use Thai Sticky Rice (Below) in place of the marshmallow or mini-donut.
  • Incorporate real icebreaker mints to offer a sour flavoring component to these cute desserts.
  • For an icebreaker, you can try setting this up on a platter containing real sushi to see if people can spot the difference.
  • This is really good for a get together or party. If you want to make it look very nice just add little candy garnishes like cut up gummy bears for little fish eggs or in a snack version goldfish for the Swedish fish.
