Instructions

- (Optional) Melt white chocolate chips and drizzle for a “rice” effect.
- Arrange gummy worms, marshmallows, or Swedish Fish along one edge.
- Carefully roll the fruit leather and cotton candy around the filling, using wax paper for support.
- If the cotton candy doesn’t stick well, lightly mist with water.

Notes
- Work quickly to keep the cotton candy from shrinking or dissolving.

- Customize flavors with different candy fillings.
- Best enjoyed immediately, as cotton candy melts over time.
- For a healthier twist, use naturally colored fruit leather and dried fruit fillings.
