This first photo has delighted my heart. I have not come up with a line of “sushi chocolates” yet. But, I would love to! You can see in this photo that the main ingredients in this fun food is marshmallows, donuts, fruit roll-ups, and swedish fish. This is not the kind of thing I have in mind. I have simultaneously been inspired by Vosges Chocolat. This lovely candy bar on the right has a hint of ginger and wasabi, and black sesame seeds. I spent some time looking at photos of real sushi. I would love to come up with a line of candy with asian flavors, which have a sushi look to them. In the end I’ll probably keep the swedish fish. I can’t resist the way it looks! I was also thinking of keeping the marshmallows. Some other ingredients are sure to be ginger, wasabi, matcha, pretzel fish, sesame seeds… possibly a soy sauce caramel. Coconut will have an appealing look… to imitate rice. I have considered getting a fish shaped chocolate mold. I can only find really cheap plastic varieties at this time. This will be a fun adventure when I get to it. I don’t typically eat sushi, so this is more of a creative experiment. I don’t really know how to use asian spices well. Stay tuned!
