Recipe - Chocolate Ants
Here is a recipe, inspired by HostPam.
Chocolate Covered Ants
100 LIVE black ants (avoid red ones, too spicy)
1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped out
2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon butter, melted
12 ounce bittersweet chocolate
Using a medium sized pot, as a double boiler, heat two cups of water and place a bowl over it. Add chocolate and turn heat to low, until chocolate is melted. In another mixing bowl, add vanilla bean seeds and egg yolks; beat until smooth, add sugar and butter. Fold in ants carefully. Take care not to smash them. They stay more flavorful and retain extra moisture if intact. Note: The chocolate should never be heated over 100
