Thanks to shows such as I'm a Celeb and Fear Factor, eating weird and wonderful creatures is now seen as standard practice in this land of meat and two veg. But there's a big difference between watching it on the telly and actually doing it. Because unless you're a desperate Z-lister or a tramp who's fallen asleep in the bughouse down the zoo, the chances of actually sampling one of these creepily exotic delicacies are pretty remote.

And that's where Scorpion Toffee comes in. As the name suggests this toffee-flavoured slab of candy contains one of nature's most ancient and feared predators. No, not Peter Stringfellow; a genuine Chinese scorpion that is 100% edible, tail 'n' all!

Toffee Scorpion Just imagine the look on friends' faces when you start sucking on this tasty bar of critter-filled candy. They may well scoff at your foolish bravado but one man's meat is another man's eight-legged invertebrate arachnid. The point being, what some consider malicious, others consider delicious. In fact, our testers here at Firebox HQ have reported that the scorpion tastes a bit like a walnut. And although toffee-liciously sweet, the surrounding candy is actually sugar-free.

Toffee Scorpion If you're worried about piffling things like death and venom, don't be; because although we'd love to say this candy has a sting in its tail, each scorpion has been specially bred for human consumption and heat treated to remove toxins, making them 100% safe to swallow. Mmm...segmented scorpion tail.



Toffee Scorpion In fact, far from being harmful the Chinese scorpion is said to be a potent aphrodisiac when eaten. We're not saying you're going to get lucky if you slurp on Scorpion Toffee all day, but you will get plenty of looks because this golden translucent candy looks just like a piece of ancient amber. With a dead scorpion inside. Not something you see every day! Presented in its very own smart little box, Scorpion Toffee is an ideal gift for exotic sweetie-lovers and fans of critter-filled confectionery everywhere. Suck it and see!

Customer Reviews

I bought this item for my boyfriend last Valentine's Day because I wanted to get him something special. Well, once he got over the initial shock of seeing a scorpion in his toffee (and once his dad came to terms with it too) he said it was one of the best and most unique presents he coulda got. Sure, it's not romantic, but it's something he wont forget!! Delivery was v. Fast as usual :).

Arrived very fast. Smaller then I thought but still amazing! The toffee is really hard and scorpion tastes weird at 1st then it tastes addictive! Buying one for my cousin's birthday!
Jack Leung, Glasgow - 16th May 2007
Very nice item, tasty too. I felt nervous at first, well, it IS a scorpion!! but, after the first bite of the toffee (I ate around the scorpion at first), I plucked up the courage and cunched into it, the taste reminds me of.... Nuts, thats all. And, if you feel nervous about it, the toffee is hard, and once you have bitten into the scorpion you don't know your eating it, only the taste changes. I WILL be buying more of these!!!

Got this for my Dad's Christmas present... He'd always said he'd be better than the celebs on the bush tucker trials... He wasn't! This totally freaked him out! Thank-you so much for wiping the smile off his face!
