A company called Edible offers a wide selection of insect treats like this one:
A Toffee flavoured Candy, which contains a real edible scorpion!
The Scorpion is specially bred in Chinese Scorpion Farms for human consumption and they are heat treated to remove toxins, so that they are safe to eat. Scorpions are said to have many health benefits. This candy looks like a piece of ancient amber, but it also a tasty candy and its even good to your teeth because its also sugar-free. Comes presented in its own smart white card box
But what's the point of eating candy without sugar in it?
Via Bifurcated Rivets
And what's the point of eating scorpions without the toxins?

My grandma would have chocolate covered ants for us at Christmas sometimes. Plenty of sugar in the chocolate. Kind of overwhelmed the ant taste (whatever that was).

Ants are nice. They're kind of lemony.
