What is the name of a children's cartoon book about chocolate with insects in it?

It may have had flip out sections of the pages and interactive things like that. It was slightly Roald dahl-ish, perhaps/

What is the name of a children's cartoon book about chocolate with insects in it?
"Chip Mitchell: The Case of the Chocolate-Covered Bug" by Fred D'Ignazio?

Reply:Could it be 'Chocolate-Covered Ants' by Stephen Manes? I got this description from Amazon:





From School Library Journal


Grade 3-5-- Second grader Adam receives an ant colony for his birthday--without the ants. As he waits impatiently for them to arrive, he bones up on ant facts at the library, his mother worrying all the while about the insects getting loose in the house. When they finally arrive, older brother Max informs a disbelieving Adam that people eat chocolate-covered ants. If Max can prove that he is right, he'll win a bet with his brother. Disaster ensues; Mom calls off the bet, but Adam gets the last laugh. In Max' first-person narration, the deliberately paced story is precipitated by the arrival of the ant colony, and the plot is stretched from there. Ant jokes, riddles, and puns abound; the eating of chocolate-covered ants is gross and funny, although overused. This undemanding, quick read is mildly amusing fare for fans of Rockwell's How to Eat Fried Worms (Watts, 1973) and Robert Smith's Chocolate Fever (Dell, 1978). --Megan McDonald, Minneapolis Public Library
