Prepare a 9x13-inch baking sheet by lightly spraying it with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the marshmallows and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.
Remove the pot from the heat and immediately stir in the crispy rice cereal until evenly coated.
Transfer the cereal mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Use a piece of parchment paper or wax paper to press the mixture down evenly into a flat layer. Let it cool for 10 minutes.
Once cooled, use a knife or a pizza cutter to slice the cereal sheet into 1-inch by 4-inch strips.
Lay a strip of fruit leather or fruit roll-up on your work surface. Place one cereal strip on top of the fruit leather.
Place a gummy candy at one end of the cereal strip. Carefully roll the cereal strip around the gummy candy to form a sushi roll, using the fruit leather to secure the roll in place.
Repeat with the remaining cereal strips, fruit leather, and gummy candies.
Cut the rolls into bite-sized pieces for serving, if desired. Arrange the candy sushi on a platter and serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
