Chocolate-covered cicadas are selling like hotcakes in this US shop. They're delicious, says owner

Sarah Dwyer is selling chocolate-coated cicadas at her chocolate store in Maryland. They are delicious, she says.

Some might cringe, but at one Maryland chocolate shop, 17-year-old insects are flying off the shelves. Sarah Dwyer, of Chouquette Chocolates in Bethseda, started coating cicadas in chocolate and selling them when the periodical Brood X emerged this spring for the first time since 2004. Now her chocolate shop has a ten-day backlog for cicada orders. They are delicious, she says.
