Ingredients
 

1742 large ants, (if they are sm., use 2,044)
3 cup melted chocolate




 
 Advertisements
Preparation
 
Catch ants at a picnic site and keep them in a glass jar to which you
have added a teaspoon of sugar to keep them happy. (Unhappy ants are
liable to go sour before processing.) At home, pick up each ant with
tweezers and remove entrails with a small, very sharp knife edge.
This will take about 400 hours. If you are in a hurry, eliminate
this step; you ll never know the difference. Dip each ant into melted
chocolate and place to drain on waxed paper. If any of them are
still able to crawl off the paper, let them go -- be a good sport!!
