Um, yes, it is real insects. It's a thing. NOT my thing. But my son ate the 17-year-cicadas the last time they hatched around here (prepared them on the grill) and another friend (deceased) was an entomologist and he was into Chocolate Sweepstakes & Giveaways-covered insects big time. I never accepted anything chocolate-covered at his house. So, I don't know whether to congratulate you or not on this win. .
