A CRUNCHY CONFECTION CHOCOLATE CRICKETS
Steps:
- In a saucepan, mix sugar, cream, chocolate and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until chocolate is melted and sugar is dissolved. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until candy thermometer reads 234 degrees, or until a small amount of mixture forms a ball when dropped into ice water. Remove mixture from heat and add butter.
- Cool mixture to 120 degrees without stirring. Add vanilla and beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until candy is thick and no longer glossy -- about 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in insects. Spread evenly in a buttered loaf pan. Cool until firm. Cut into 2-inch squares.
CHOCOLATY DOUBLE CRUNCHERS
I first tried these fun crispy cookies at a family picnic when I was a child. Packed with oats, cornflakes and coconut, they quickly became a "regular" at our house. Years later, I still make them for my own family. -Cheryl Johnson, Upper Marlboro, Maryland
