Recipe Title: CHOCOLATE COVERED ANTS

Categories: Snacks, Desserts

Yield: 6 servings

1742 lg Ants, (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!!
