’ll admit it—I never thought the words “crunchy,” “nutty,” and “surprisingly tasty” would ever apply to something made with insects. But here we are. With sustainable eating on the rise and edible bugs gaining popularity as a protein-packed alternative, I decided to put my taste buds (and maybe my courage) to the test. So, armed with curiosity and a glass of water just in case, I took the plunge into the world of insect-based pretzels. Here’s exactly what went down—no filters, no fluff, just my honest reaction to biting into a snack that’s anything but ordinary.We’ve all been there—fighting off that
Eating insects can definitely raise an eyebrow or two. The idea of crunching into something that once had legs seems, well, a little strange to most of us. It’s hard to shake off the skepticism—will it taste weird? Is it safe? The thought alone can make you hesitate, especially when it’s not something we’re used to seeing on our plates. But with all the talk about their sustainability and protein-packed punch, maybe it’s time to rethink those first impressions.
I was convinced to try insects mostly out of curiosity—and a little bit of peer pressure, if I’m being honest. Everywhere I looked, people were talking about how sustainable, healthy, and surprisingly tasty they could be. I figured if the world was calling bugs the “food of the future,” maybe it was worth seeing what all the buzz was about (pun fully intended).
That’s when I stumbled onto these chocolate-covered lifesavers called MunchIn Bites. They had that real pretzel pretzel crunch—like, not just pretending to be a pretzel, but full-on embracing it—with a chocolate hug on top. Honestly, they were so good I almost forgot there were insects involved… almost.
