You Want WHAT Covered in Chocolate???

Chocolate Covered Cricket?

When we polled the people who “like” Barkeater Chocolates’ Facebook page on what’s the wildest thing they’ve ever covered in chocolate – we got what we asked for. Phoebe did not particularly like chocolate covered jalapenos; while Jim took a big bite of chocolate covered bacon.  However, the most interesting answer (that we can actually quote) was from Sarah – who told us that her kids really enjoyed their chocolate covered crickets.

As for the crickets; we don’t plan on offering that line of confections any time soon. However, much of the world does enjoy a feast of insects. Western civilization has pretty much shunned the much loved grub & fly larvae panini; but those in Asia, Africa & Australia don’t seem to be hung up on whether they eat fire roasted ants with their tomatoes.

We pride ourselves on unique chocolate confections (Wasabi Ginger Truffle, anyone?), but at this time, we’re not bringing scorpions into the test kitchen. At least, not yet…
