Exploring the World’s Most Expensive Chocolates

If you sincerely love chocolate or are just a curious reader, I heartily welcome you to visit my blog and read the post “ Why is Belgian chocolate so favorite and the best treat in the world?.”

While chocolate may be just an enjoyable treat for some people, for the world’s finest chocolatiers, it’s considered an exclusive and priceless piece of art.

Luxury chocolate producers like iconic French manufacturer Debauve & Gallais, artisan chocolate brand Knipschildt, or Ecuadorian company  To’ak have developed their own chocolates, each with a unique flavor.

“Le Grand Louis XVI collection” – $900 US

and “Le Livre” – €239

by Debauve & Gallais

The oldest chocolate manufacturer, Debauve & Gallais, is well-known for its sweets. The most expensive item is generally referred to as the “Le Grand Louis XVI collection.” The box of 36 dark chocolates costs about $900.

“Le Livre” by Debauve & Gallais, featuring 35 individually created ganache and pralines. It came in a leather book-shaped box with gold trim and cost €239.

“Le Livre” is however a best-seller even at this high cost. 

50-gram bar of chocolate from To’ak – $400 US

A single 50-gram bar of chocolate from To’ak producer costs more than $400 US.

The cost is extremely high because the companies used 85% grade cacao as ordinary chocolate contains only 5% of the fiber.

“La Madeline au Truffe” by the House of Knipschildt – $250 US

Chocolate Sundae 

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, it also has the title of being the most expensive dessert in the world. 

The dessert is lavishly decorated with 5g of edible 23-karat gold, and you get the opportunity to keep the 18-karat gold bracelet with 1 carat of white diamonds served with the dessert. 

A box of 49 Swarovski-studded chocolates costs $10,000 US.  

The unique packaging was created by Lebanese chocolatier Patchi.

A genuine leather box with handwoven fabric ornamentation had 49 premium chocolates that had been individually hand-wrapped in Indian silk, embellished with glittering Swarovski crystals.

Although the $10,000 chocolate box is no longer for sale, the chocolate shop Patchi is still in business. They provide a wide selection of goodies, including the $150 option to create your own chocolate box.

The Most Expensive Chocolate in the World

But the most expensive chocolate in the world is Le Chocolate Box by Simon Jewelers.  

It cost for one box is   $1.5 million. 

$1.5 million! 

Each “Chocolate Box” contained jewelry like necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings decorated with yellow and blue diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, and other gems made by Simon Katz, who is the owner of Simons Jewelers. 

Even with its astronomical price, “Le Chocolat Box” was mostly a marketing stunt. Simon Jewelers used the media advertisement of confectionery just to draw attention to another promotion.

Without a doubt, these are the most expensive candies in the entire world.
