Chocolate Ants

In case you're wondering if we actually test all the Edible products we sell, the answer is yes. In fact we're putting away a few Chocolate Ants and a Chocolate Scorpion right now, and we have to tell you that both delicacies are really quite delicious. Perhaps that's because these confectionery-clad critters are not just ordinary ants and everyday scorpions (if there is such a thing), and they're not just covered in ordinary chocolate.



No siree, these six and eight-legged sweets are made from genuine Queen Leafcutter ants (like the ones you see on TV carrying frigging huge pieces of foliage) and specially bred Chinese scorpions.

None of which makes much difference when you're chomping on a big deceased one that's been slopped in chocolate, but we thought you might be interested. Ah yes, and what about that chocolate? Well, the good people at Edible have chosen the finest Belgian chocolate in which to dip their creepy crawlies, making the overall taste sensation a gloriously bittersweet affair in every sense.

As if that weren’t enough, each giant ant has been hand-toasted by South American tribespeople to give it that extra crunch and flavor. Mmm…ants! They're even said to contain energy-boosting enzymes to keep you feeling as industrious as, well, an ant!

But what about the scorpions, we hear you ask? Well, these pincer-happy arachnids have been heat treated to remove toxins, making them 100% safe to swallow. Which is just as well because the Chinese scorpion is said to be a potent aphrodisiac when eaten.

Perfect as unusual and (t)antalising post dinner party delicacies, these tasty creepy crawlies make other so-called exotic treats look about as outlandish as french fries. So get ordering - your guests will love you for it! (Assuming you tell them what they're eating).
