A Startling Find at Breakfast

Not sure how these ants found their way to the bottom of the cream honey jar but here they are. What a shock to find them, encased in the crystallized honey. I can’t tell you how long it’s been since I reached for this toast topping. It was a jolt!

I think I’ll stick with jam.

My sister suggested looking up chocolate covered ants and yes, you can buy them to be shipped to your home.

Definitely unappetizing but an interesting image.

Doesn’t one catch more flies with honey?
