Chouquette Chocolates is selling the cicadas -- dipped in either milk or dark chocolate -- online, but it also posted the recipe on its Facebook page for brave chefs looking for something to do with the bugs.
Billions of cicadas from Brood X are emerging from their subterranean homes as temperatures warm up in the eastern United States. They'll spend the final days of their lives mating andThe fresh cicadas are frozen, given a quick dip in boiling water, then coated in oil and spices, before being air fried and dropped in chocolate,
. The video showed containers of cinnamon and Old Bay , but the post said to use whatever spice you like."It's really crunchy because we air-fry them," she told WBAL. Dwyer is also selling other cicada-themed chocolates that are insect-free for people who want to enjoy the bugs without eating them. "I just thought the whole idea of having cicadas around every 17 years, it's fascinating," she told WBAL.that you can boil the bugs or roast them, and he cooked them up in a stir fry and made street tacos.
Yup, just like the cicadas the company comes back every 17 years.
Those are delicious, they taste like original flavour Pringles.

Why can't people just leave the cicadas and nature alone? Why must people be greedy and eat everything they see?! PETA peta
No.
Oh great another virus waiting to happen🙄
Big NOPE. Yikes.
So why do we have to kill them too, we are such a parasite and have to do something to destroy everything on this planet, so sad!
Definitely looks like poop!! Don't care how many sprinkles you put on them.
Holy crap I thought it was a chocolate coated rat!!
I’d rather not thank you.
So, instead of marveling at the wonder of nature, we decide to make a snack out of an insect that emerges only every 17 years to mate and then back underground. The ancient Greeks and Roman's respected these insects....(1)
No. No no no.
look like dead mice covered in chocolate or worse poop
China owned no doubt
No.
This is not as disgusting as the housing crisis, not even close.
I ate that before in China. It is actually very delicious and nutritious, very high in protein. Taste like nuts if nobody tells what you are having.
How about some chocolate covered dog 💩?
Ewwwwww. That is disgusting!!
