Chocolate Coated Crickets 10g

I got a packet of these for my son and he thought they were great.

Y9 students more enthusiastic/adventurous than the Y 10's who were less enthused. The light chocolate made them more 'approachable' than the mixed insects bought previously and masked the obviousness of the cricket making them less scary to eat.

I am a classroom teacher and shared these with my kids! They loved them! Thanks again 🙌🏾

Once I got past the idea of crunching through legs n feelers the chocolate coated crickets were a bit like eating dry wheetbix with chocolate.. which was pallet able and if I had no other source of protein fairly easy to consume.
Made a great Xmas day controversy, who will try crawlies and why would you?
With clean water becoming more precious, it makes sense, with beef especially being a huge consumer and contaminator of water!, to farm and eat insects.
Apparently there's a legal tolerance of insect parts permitted in products like flour or biscuits! So everyone has possibly already consumed a steak equivalent of insect protein.
I would be interested in a savoury rather than sweet cricket perhaps with mushrooms or beans in a stir fry or onion sauce 😋
