Happy National Chocolate-Covered Insects Day!

chocolate antsI don't think I've ever had a chocolate-covered insect (I know, this is where readers get on my case for posting yet again about something I've never eaten!). At least not on purpose. Who knows what gets into my candy during processing that I don't know about.

Today is National Chocolate-Covered Insects Day! Are there actually recipes online for such a thing? Yes indeed!

You can even buy them at CoolBugStuff.com, and RealCoolToys.com. Chocolate-covered ants I can imagine, but a chocolate-covered praying mantis?!
