Chocolate Ants

I bought these for my boyfriend as a joke on Valentine's Day as he is a total chocoholic. . Problem is, he wont go near them! So they're still sat here and I tease him with them every now and then :D I'd eat them, but I'm vegetarian!

As people have said, they are definitely salty, very salty. But, they are surprisingly nice, after the initial crunch it feels like you have desicated coconut in your mouth (all them little bits), and it is hard to get rid of them, but, definitely worth a try guys.

These taste absolutely amazing! Gave one to my father just asked him: you want a chocolate dad? Dad: Aye why not.... . Mmmm what the hell are these they're lovely.... ! Me: Giant Leafcutter queen ants from South America, coated in dark belgian chocolate :-D (big grin on my face) Dad: Damn well i'm shocked they tasted really good. Great product, great taste.

I bought these last Christmas and had so much fun with them. Christmas morning I sat with everyone's presents around me and no one was allowed to have their presents until they'd eaten an ant. Hehe everyone except my mum had a go and was pleasantly surprised, oh except my boyfriend who pulled the most amazing faces! Thanks Firebox, no ones forgotten last Xmas!

I have tried lots of different insects before-mopani worms, flavoured mealworms and crickets and a cooked scorpion. What makes these so different is the chocolate. Belgian chocolate on its own is already great but eating a covered ant gives it a very different flavour. I would recommend these products to anyone who doesn't dare try a insect on its own but prefers it hidden away.
Firebox says: Wow, you're obviously a bit of an edible insect gourmet Christian. We do think the chocolate helps the taste a lot.

These just arrived today after ordering yesterday (very fast delivery!) - firebox is right, these are very bitter-sweet! The taste is like a combination between earth and savoury dried popcorn. Though they sound quite disgusting to my surprise they are actually pretty tasty, the Beglian chocolate is niiiiice :D. Great for treating yourself to something just that bit different or for a freaky joke gift to a friend. As the ants are covered in chocolate its hard to make out all those tiny bits like the legs, but if you edge the chocolate away like I did you can even clearly see the ant's giant, stripey abdomen! Ate these all on the same day and will definately be ordering more. The first bite I took was one of the deceased critter's heads, with extra crunch. Mmmm, ant goodness.... .
