Not for the squemish and certainly not for the non-bug lover, there is a new candy assortment in town and Valentines Day ready it isn’t. What I’m talking about is this . . .

Chocolate Roaches. That’s right, you read that wrong. It’s not entirely what you think, trust me. Rather it’s of the pure chocolate variety and not the typical image that comes to mind. Yes, an insect dipped into a chocolate substance much like an Ice Cream shop dips the swirled confection into a vat of chocolate. Chocolate Roaches are pure 100-percent chocolate in the shape of a roach.

They come in two varieties; male and female. According to the site, the male has an almond imbedded in it’s core (for that authetic crunch) and the female is just solid chocolate. These are chocolate replicas of the Palmetto bug - the unoffical state bird of South Carolina.

It’s weird, original and somewhat disgusting (depending on who you are). I’m going to put an order for the Mini 6-pack (3 males : 3 females) and review them for their taste, consistency and authetic crunchness.

Roaches. Mmm-mmm-good.
