Main Ingredients
- Graham Crackers – crumbled or crushed to mimic sushi rice texture (about 1-2 cups)
- Marshmallows – melted or mini-sized (1 cup or about 10-15 marshmallows)
- Chocolate Bars or Chips – your favorite variety (1 cup, chopped or chips)
- Rice Paper or Fruit Leather sheets (4-6 sheets)
Optional Fillings
- Sliced strawberries, bananas, or kiwi (about 1 cup, thinly sliced)
- Nuts – chopped (1/4 cup, optional)
- Peanut Butter or Sunflower Seed Butter (for nut butter twist, 2-3 tbsp)
- Spices – cinnamon or chili powder (a pinch, optional)
- Prep Your Ingredients: Crush the graham crackers into a rice-like consistency using a food processor or place them in a ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin. If using fruits or nuts, slice or chop them into thin strips ready for rolling.
- Soften and Shape the Marshmallows: Melt the marshmallows gently either in the microwave or on the stove until gooey but not burnt. Alternatively, use mini marshmallows to save time—they are sticky enough to hold the rolls together.
- Assemble the “Rice” Layer: Lay out your rice paper or fruit leather on a flat surface. Spread a thin, even layer of crushed graham cracker “rice” over the entire sheet, pressing lightly to help it stick.
- Add Chocolate and Fillings: Place pieces of chocolate, marshmallow, and chosen optional fillings (such as fruits or nuts) in a thin line near one edge of the sheet. Avoid overfilling to keep rolling manageable.
- Roll It Up: Carefully but firmly roll the sushi from the edge with the fillings, using the rice paper or fruit leather to seal everything inside and form a tight roll.
- Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized sushi pieces. Arrange on a plate and serve immediately while the marshmallow is warm and gooey. Optionally, chill for 15 minutes before slicing to firm up.
Notes
- Chill assembled rolls in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before slicing to achieve cleaner cuts and firmer rolls.
- Use parchment paper while rolling to prevent sticking and maintain shape.
- Get creative with toppings: try crushed nuts, cocoa powder, or shredded coconut sprinkled on top for texture.
- Prepare just before serving to enjoy the best gooey texture.
- For authentic campfire flavor, lightly toast the marshmallows on top before serving.
