Now I know what you’re going to think: cockroaches are disgusting! But in the world of magic they’re synonymous for super tasty treats.

In the Harry Potter universe, Cockroach Clusters are sold at Honeydukes: the legendary wizarding sweets shop. Believe it or not, they’re (allegedly) made from real cockroaches!

But in our magical kitchen I cannot allow cooking with something as nasty as cockroaches. There are other ways to get that crunchy texture.

All you need is a cup full of mixed nuts and dried fruit – plus some chocolate of course. Here’s the full recipe:
