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

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
