Crickettes And Laevets By Mary60 on Jan 10, 2010 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

When we went to Universal in December, I found this novelty gift for my grand daughter who likes that show Fear Factor. She is always pretending we are covered with bugs or eating them. These are just a couple of the four choices you can purchase(also BBQ, and Cheddar Cheese). The Crick-ettes have a Sour Cream and Onion flavor, while the Larvets are Mexican Spice. They really don't have the flavor, but taste rather plain and dry. I think just the name on the small box (1 serving) is bad enough. On the back of the crick-ettes box they even show the parts of the crick-ette. They are one serving and have 9 calories per box. The ingredients say crickets,corn starch,nonfat milk,sour cream, etc. The larvets ingredients list larva,sugar,corn,flour, spices,garlic, etc. These definitely are a fun item for the one who hates bugs. My grand daughter won't touch them, even though her grand father has eaten some. Me, I haven't tried them either, and don't plan too!!
