The quality and presentation of chocolate along with the rarity of the cacao beans used can make the chocolate terribly cheap or super expensive. Chocolate companies have gone as far as to partner with jewelry companies. They’ve festooned chocolates with edible gold to create uber-expensive, limited-edition chocolates with astounding price tags, such as “Le Chocolate Box.” This was a $1.5 million extravaganza from Lake Forest Confections and Simon Jewelers that had diamond, ruby, emerald, and sapphire jewelry tucked among several boxes of chocolates. Don’t forget the time that restaurant Serendipity 3 teamed with Euphoria New York to create “Frrrozen Haute Chocolate,” which cost a whopping $25,000 for a blend of cocoa mixed with edible gold — 23-karat gold — and a luxury chocolate truffle. If you need a moment to catch your breath after seeing those prices, you’re not alone. Check out 14 of the most expensive chocolates, HERE.
