Start by making the rice krispies for the base of your shark sushi. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter and then stir in the marshmallows. Mix until melted.
Remove from heat and mix in your rice cereal. Stir well to combine.
While your rice crispy mixture is still warm pour into a large sheet pan (sprayed with non-stick spray) and flatten it out.
Once your rice crispy treats have cooled slightly, cut out rice crispy treats the same size, about 2 inches wide.
Place your gummy shark on top of the rice crispy treat.
Unroll your fruit roll up and cut into long strips.
Wrap your fruit roll up around the shark and rice crispy treat to look like sushi.
Serve your shark sushi with chopsticks, while you’re watching Shark Week of course!
