Dessert Sushi - Chocolate Peanut Butter Rolls

I won't call this a guest post, because I'm still doing the post. But, I have to give credit where credit is due. My sister decided to tackle dessert sushi for her husband's 30th birthday. Cakes are boring, and my mom usually "takes the cake" in terms of her elaborate donut cakes, cupcakes or tiered cakes she locates for her many parties. I will start off by saying this is not healthy, but I could not go without sharing it. We both searched high and low for the best recipes that didn't look too daunting. My sister had the day off Friday and snuck around making the sushi while hubby was at work. While these may seem a bit labor intensive, the overall report was that they were easy to make!

Ingredients:

• 14 ounces chocolate
• 6 tablespoons corn syrup
• 1/2 cup butter, divided
• 4 cups mini marshmallows
• 6 cups Rice Krispies
• 2 cups creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups confectioners sugar

Directions:

• Melt chocolate gradually in microwave safe bowl on low power. Start with 20 second intervals, whisking in between. Stir until completely smooth.
  
• Whisk in the corn syrup. The mixture should stiffen and change in texture. Mix until combined.
• Transfer the chocolate to a ziploc bag or piece of plastic wrap. Chill for at least 2 hours.
• Place peanut butter and 1/4 cup butter into microwave safe bowl and microwave in 20 second intervals until soft. Stir in vanilla extract and confectioners sugar and mix until doughy. Roll into thin logs and freeze to firm up (not too long!).
• Melt 1/4 cup of the butter in saucepan over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until smooth. 
• Remove mixture from heat and stir in Rice Krispies, until evenly coated.  
• Press marshmallow mixture into shallow baking pan lined with wax paper. 
• Take the peanut butter logs and place it on the Rice Krispies, rolling up and trimming as you go. She got about 5 rolls.
• When chocolate is chilled, remove from fridge and coat a flat work surface with cooking spray. Knead chocolate until it is soft and workable. 
• Roll out a thin layer on wax paper (or your sprayed surface), about 12".
• Place Rice Krispies roll (with PB inside) on the chocolate, roll up and trim.
