Step-by-Step Instructions

Melt the Marshmallows
In a large saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Add marshmallows and stir until smooth and fully melted.
Add the Cereal
Remove from heat and gently fold in Fruity Pebbles until evenly coated.
Shape the Base
Place mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper. Press into a flat rectangle using lightly buttered hands or parchment.
Add the Filling
Spread a thin layer of frosting across the surface.
Roll It Up
Carefully roll the cereal mixture into a tight log, using parchment paper to help guide it.
Chill
Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to firm up.
Slice and Serve
Use a sharp knife to slice into “sushi” rounds.

Optional: Wrap the outside with fruit roll-ups for a sushi-inspired look.

Tips for Perfect Rolls

Lightly butter your hands to prevent sticking.
Don’t over-press the cereal — keep it light for a softer bite.
Chill before slicing for clean cuts.
Use a serrated knife if needed.
