Maryland candy store is selling chocolate-covered cicadas: 'Inundated with orders'

The cicadas are coming! In chocolate form, that is.
Earlier this month, the Bethesda-based confectioner shared an Instagram post on how it’s cooking up and sweetening these insects, which is only a seven-step process. According to ChouQuette’s instructions, the cicadas need to first be collected, frozen, boiled and oiled before they can be placed in an air fryer. Once the bugs are cooked and cooled, they can be covered in melted chocolate. When the chocolate has hardened, they can then be served like any other chocolate-covered snack – unless of course you prefer your cicadas in a fondue style.More Related News
