You're right, there's nothing really enticing in it. Were they the un-sweetened kind? I have no doubt they'd go nuts for sugar, but I don't know what it'd do to them. I'd think coconut would be sweet enough on it's own, compared to the rest of what I put in, which is bland. I'll keep it in mind when I go shopping. If the roaches still don't like it, I'll make a cake or something.
