For over 25 years, based in California, the candy company HOTLIX has been the creative of these strange snacks such as chocolate-covered scorpions and insects palettes.

Larry Peterman, 70 years old, is the man who started all this. The first insect candy was created by a palette HOTLIX flavored tequila with a worm inside. This was in 1982, but the company has expanded worldwide and is more popular than ever.
