You could always dip a couple in melted chocolate for yourself if you feel you were over generous.

If the chocolate dipped would ruin your diet, you could always dig out that fondue set that everyone has lying unused at the back of the cupboard.

'And i am just ignoring the rest of you!'

That won't stop us exchanging our delicious recipes.
Anyone for a Roach Smoothie ... with crunchy bits?

Creepy Chocolate Cockroach Treats

Ingredients

* Parchment paper
* 30 pecans halves
* 4-5 squares of dark chocolate (I used Ghirardelli 72% Twilight Delight)
* Chocolate Sprinkles
* Round Halloween colored sprinkles (white, orange, purple)

Directions

1. Pour about 1/2 cup or so of chocolate sprinkles and 1/4 cup of colored sprinkles into two separate, shallow bowls.
2. Chop dark chocolate into small, even pieces. Melt chocolate in the microwave or a double boiler until smooth.
3. Submerge pecan halves in melted chocolate and move around until the pecan is covered.
4. Remove the pecan from the chocolate allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Dip each pecan, flat side down into the chocolate sprinkles to make little cockroach legs.
5. Place pecan on parchment paper sprinkle side down.
6. Continue the same technique for all the pecans, then drop two small round colored sprinkles to the smaller end of all the pecans to make eyes.
7. Let the pecans sit for a few hours so the chocolate can set, remove from parchment paper and store in an airtight container until ready to serve.

Tasty Stuffed Roaches

These nasty, crispy-skinned looking roaches taste really great... The little bit of crunch from the walnuts give them the perfect crisp- roach texture. Mmmm.

Ingredients:
1/3 C. cream cheese, softened
1/4 C. walnuts, chopped semi-fine
20-30 dates, pitted

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, combine cream cheese and nuts til well mixed.
2. Gently fill each date with cream cheese/nut mixture

From: http://www.divinedinnerparty.com/gross-recipes-for-halloween.html

----------
I imagine that UK rules are similar to US/Canada in that:

quote:
The average chocolate bar contains eight insect parts. Anything less than 60 insect pieces per 100 grams of chocolate (two chocolate bars' worth) is deemed safe for consumption by the [US] Food and Drug Administration.

Nice recipe but I've scoured the inter-hyper-web and ended up Google-eyed hunting for Pecan Roaches!! Maybe they only breed in selected regions of Canadonia.

Can I just use ordinary Scottish roaches without spoiling the result?
