"A fun candy treat to make for a themed party - to pull kids in and inspire imagination! From the RR archives. ;) Maybe for a Japanese dinner party when the kiddos may not eat sushi with you--this might help them participate for dessert? Or just a fun kids party--or even Halloween. ;) I haven't tried these yet, so I guessed on the times, but will update once I do. I am a slow one in the kitchen though!! *Increase amounts according to number of people/portions desired*"

We love this recipe. I have made it several times and it is such a hit! My daughter has "market" day at school where she can sell items using their classroom currency. She took these last time and sold out quickly. They are super cute, and delicious too. The only change I made was to double the amount of cereal I used. I kept everything else the same.

I could not find any sheets of fruit roll ups only the strips so I made the "insides" and rolled the rollup strip around it. I also could not find licorice laces so I used fruit flavored twizzlers. Ours tasted like bubble gum - maybe because of the flavored candy. Anyway they were a very cute addition to our meal. Thanks.
