CHOCOLATE COVERED ANTS 
1, 742 ants, lg. size (if they are sm., use 2, 044)
3 c. melted chocolate

Catch ants at a picnic site and keep them in a glass jar to which you have added a teaspoon of sugar to keep them happy. (Unhappy ants are liable to go sour before processing.) At home, pick up each ant with tweezers and remove entrails with a small, very sharp knife edge. This will take about 400 hours.

If you are in a hurry, eliminate this step; you'll never know the difference. Dip each ant into melted chocolate and place to drain on waxed paper. If any of them are still able to crawl off the paper, let them go -- be a good sport!!

I prepared this dish for a church potluck and it was a huge hit! Everyone was going buggy about it and asking for the recipe. I will definitely be making this again. Tip: try mixing in a bit of finely chopped walnuts wild chives to make a snack mix.

So are there any ants you can just pick up and eat alive instead of going through all this trouble? And can I just use like regular grasshoppers or flies or anything if I want to use the chocolate??
