The rice ball candycorns are so much healthier than gorging on my fav candy of the season!!! Until last year my autumnal season was incomplete because all the candycorn I could find had gelatin in it and I could not eat it. I really missed having it. Candycorn was my childhood memory of Halloween and crunchy leaves underfoot. I had almost given up being able to share it with my girl. But last year I found that the Kroger brand candycorn was vegetarian, haha! I eagerly anticipated it this year and when that lovely day arrived I bought 2 bags. That was a pretty modest amount, I felt. Then we ate it all within a three day period. And then I bought more. I have one bag in the car for emergencies, one open bag in the house and three unopened bags.
In the bento: One large fuji apple bunny, veggie hot dogs, one floret each of cauliflower and broccoli, 2 large carrot maple leaves, 1 miniature blueberry muffin, 1 pick of corn, 1 large candycorn onigiri.

A-chan got the first of the onigiri, one of the ones that she made all by herself. Normally I don't do the ice-water treatment on the bunny ears to get them to stand up, but this was a special occasion so I went ahead.

Now THAT is clever. Thanks for sharing :)
Wow, these candy corn onigiri are brilliant! How do you color the rice?
Candycorn onigiri? Love this idea!! Want to try this one too!!
The onigiri are fantastic! You did a great job with the colors, it looks just like the candy!
Thanks, Kelly! It was just a natural progression of my candycorn obsession :)
Sonoma Bento, I colored the rice by cheating - gel food coloring that you can find in the baking aisle. I add a few drops of the gel to the water before cooking the rice, stirring it to make sure that it is evenly distributed.
Woohoo, Sherimiya!! Glad that you like them :) Definitely make some, they are so much fun!
Thank you, OhayoBento :D
I'm left wondering why -I- don't have an emergency bag of candy corn ...
Lol, Lunch Buckets :D I definitely recommend one!
