chocolate ants I 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?!

I think just eating some chocolate here and there is good enough for me as eating insects with it is absolutely not for me. I guest you could say your getting your protein when eating insects with chocolate.

Chocolate-covered praying mantis? Ugh, I can understand ants, the tiny little buggers, but a MANTIS with the razor-sharp claws and the big eyes and the...ugh.
