Chocolate Covered Ants

(or other crunchy protein critters)

 

 

Recipe By - Chef Jacques Martine'

 

Yield ; 12 + Chocolates

 

 

Ingredients ;

100 Black Ants (avoid red ants, too spicy)

1 vanilla bean split and seeds scraped out

2 Egg Yolks

1 Tbsp. Sugar

1 tsp. Butter, melted

12 oz. Bittersweet Chocolate


Procedures -
Using a medium size pot as a double boiler, heat two cups of water and place a bowl over it. Add chocolate and turn heat to low, heat until chocolate is melted. Remove chocolate from heat and stir. In another mixing bowl, add vanilla seeds and egg yolks, beat until smooth, add sugar and wisk over medium heat until mixture reaches 160 f., remove from heat and fold in butter, let cool, then Fold in ants carefully. Take care not to smash them. They stay more flavorful and retain extra moisture if intact.

Note: The chocolate should never be heated over 100 degree's F.
Use a digital thermometer to check the chocolate. Carefully fold the egg mixture into the chocolate. Use a teaspoon to scoop and immediately place a half teaspoon of the mixture onto wax paper or place in chocolate molds. Refrigerate to harden. These tasy shapes can not be redipped and coated with nuts, powdered sugar or drizzled with white chocolate.

The chocolate covered ants can be refrigerated for up to three weeks. The chocolate helps to preserve their freshness.

Retail $139.00 and up
Sale Price $98.95

This is the new 6 inch blade Global Chef Knife, the most used knife, it easily glide through food! Each handmade knife is forged from super high quality Japanese alloy steel. It is very sharp and stays sharp longer. Lifetime Warranty.
Chefs Note: Sweet Chef Knife, cool handle, razor sharp, super thin edge, perfectly balanced. A pleasure to use. If you want a high quality knife to pass through generations, you found it. Bonus: Free Offers Above & Below!
Chef Notes: We like the feel of this beauty and the extra sharp thin blade. Global knives are made from the finest high carbon stainless steel available for producing professional quality kitchen knives. Yoshikin uses its own proprietary stainless steel which it calls CROMOVA 18 Stainless Steel. This steel is hard enough for Global knives to keep their edge for a long time. The CRO in CROMOVA 18 stands for chromium and the 18 is the percentage of chromium in the steel. The MO and VA in CROMOVA 18 stand for molybdenum and vanadium. These two elements give a knife good edge retention.
