French chocolatiers made chocolate with crickets decorated with gold powder, but in the United States, on the contrary (?), " Chocolate worms " are sold.


"Chocolate of insects" is edible insects coated with dark chocolate. It can be purchased from the US online shopping site Think Geek.

There are 3 types of sexy insects in chocolate robes. Scorpions, silk moths, and superworms (also known as giant worms) are wrapped in chocolate and canned. According to the site, these insects are rich in protein and have a crunchy texture and condensed umami.


The shape is a solid insect, but since it is camouflaged with whole body chocolate and you do not have to see the grotesque visuals, I feel that you can eat it if it is good for your health or as an emergency food.

Each can contains 2 scorpions, 12 silk moths and 12 superworms. It is sold as a set of 3 cans and is currently on sale for $ 19.99. Unfortunately, it is not shipped outside the United States.
