Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups sugar
2/3 cup cream
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
Salt to taste
1/8 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup dry-roasted crickets, chopped (see note)

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, mix sugar, cream, chocolate and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until chocolate is melted and sugar is dissolved. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until candy thermometer reads 234 degrees, or until a small amount of mixture forms a ball when dropped into ice water. Remove mixture from heat and add butter.
  • Cool mixture to 120 degrees without stirring. Add vanilla and beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until candy is thick and no longer glossy -- about 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in insects. Spread evenly in a buttered loaf pan. Cool until firm. Cut into 2-inch squares.

I'm not sure if I could eat a whole cricket, but I might be able to handle a chocolate-covered one.

I'm a big fan of chocolate, but I'm not sure if I could bring myself to eat a cricket, even if it is covered in chocolate.
