The Most Expensive Luxury Chocolates in The World

Chocolate is undeniably the greatest thing in the world. It is entirely possible that the person who first discovered chocolate received the best spot in heaven…and then went on to achieve nirvana. God must have been mighty proud.There’s something bewitching, spell binding about chocolate- the texture, the slightly bitter tinge with the rich, creamy sweetness; it melts like a dozen flavours in the mouth. And chocolate, like all fantastic things out there, comes in so many different sizes. And prices. 

AMEDEI PORCELANA

The finest, rarest cocoa beans come together to form this exquisite dark chocolate from Tuscany, Italy. Famously known as the world’s most expensive chocolate, Amedei Porcelena is named so because of the chocolate bar’s stunning porcelain hue. While there are some other chocolates more expensive than Amedei, they all contain one or the other sort of packaging frill, like gold. Amedei’s costs are simply that of pure chocolate and the cocoa beans used to make them, making it not only delicious, but terribly genuine and one of a kind. Another amazing fact about this chocolate is that it is part of the most expensive ice cream dessert in the world- the $1000 Golden Opulence Sundae at Serendipity in New York! It doesn’t get any more luxurious than this!

VOSGES HAUT CHOCOLAT

Tasteful, tasty and unique. Vosges Haut Chocolat from Chicago is a brand that makes luxury chocolates using not only the usual ingredients like caramel or nougat but also spices and bacon. Imagine biting into a chocolate to discover chilly or better yet, wasabi! This unusual concept became a trend, and Vosges continues to make the highest quality of unique luxury chocolates.

GRAND CRU by Sprüngli

This marvellous range of melt in the mouth chocolates by exemplary Swiss chocolatier Sprüngli is perhaps the very definition of heaven. The perfect amalgam of the rarest, purest cocoa beans; utilization of the best natural ingredients such as Bourbon vanilla, the passionate, diligent craftsmanship, and sustainable processes result in the most scrumptious box of grand cru truffles and chocolate bars. Chocolate making is a fine art, and Sprüngli recognises and respects its sanctity- the sheer quality and variety of their chocolates is a testament to this.

JACQUES TORRES

One of the greatest pastry chefs and chocolatiers in all of New York, Jacques Torres hails from France, and his brand of luxurious confectionaries is world renowned and loved. A box of decadent and silky-smooth chocolates in flavours like raspberry, earl gray, red wine, pineapple, cappuccino, hazel nut, praline, chai tea, lemon and so many more make for some of the best birthday gifts- or some of the greatest companions on a cheat day!

WISPA GOLD by Cadbury

This shiny, golden and outrageously priced treat can make anybody’s eyes pop out of their heads. Who could ever have expected pocket-friendly Cadbury to come up with a $1,600 chocolate bar?! The chocolate is covered in a gold leaf, and the wrapper, which might just look like a shiny gift wrapper at first glance, is actually made of gold too! This astonishing dessert earned a place at the Selfridges luxurious Wonder Room, and was brought in on a velvet pillow escorted by celebrities and its personal security! Talk about literal arm candy!
