This World's Chocolate's Day (7th July), we bring to you some of the world’s priciest chocolates from the most prestigious chocolatiers.
Be it from Ecuador to France or from Connecticut to Switzerland; we are talking about those yummy chocolates that would not go with the typical heart-shaped boxes but are for the most exquisitely crafted couture. These are luxurious, these are uniquely prepared and would prove sophisticated gifts (except one)!
#1. Knipschildt Chocolatier Madeline Truffe
Price: $250
La Madeline au Truffe by the House of Knipschildt is one of their most extravagant chocolates. The 1.5-ounce truffe comes presented on a bed of pearls inside a silver box tied together with a beautiful ribbon. Each piece is produced with 70% Valrhona dark chocolate. The ganache is made up of vanilla, sugar, Italian truffle oil and heavy cream. It would impress anyone!
Each exquisite piece gets prepared upon special order and takes around 14 days of delivery time. Apart from this, the chocolatier makes use of the rare French mushroom, French Périgord truffle that can easily cost around 1,000$ per pound and that's the real gem.

#2. Debauve & Gallais Le Livre
Price: $550
With such a price tag, Le Livre offers a mix of 35 handmade ganaches & pralines. To honor the French chocolatier’s 200th anniversary in the year 2000, Le Livre introduced the arrangement of gold embossed leather case resembling that of a stylish book-like appearance. This beauty is still the best and most popular!
From truffles, hot chocolate chips to Pistoles De Marie Antoinette and white chocolate bars, the assortment has it all.
With a blue casing and golden embossing, Le Livre also offers a smaller version of the 35 chocolate box with the name Le Petit Livre. This comes with 12 chocolates and is priced at $330.

#3. DeLafée’s Gold Chocolate Box With Swiss Gold Coin
Price: $330
DeLaffe has an enormous range of edible gold products that you can easily get lost in their charm and sparkles. This box is a pack of 8 chocolate pieces embellished with 24 karats edible gold flakes.
However, this isn't the only gold goodies in the store for you. Surprisingly, you also get an antique gold coin minted in the years of 1910 and 1920. The coin is valued at almost $133 and comes from the Swiss National Bank.
The craftsmanship is eternal - gold leaves/ flakes used on every piece gets placed manually! Things are taken even further with packaging the chocolates in silk draped wood boxes.

#4. To’ak Chocolate’s (2014-Harvest)
Price: $260
This one's special, because only 574 bars (worldwide) of this USDA-organic and 81-percent dark chocolate were made from the harvest to the year 2014. The To'ak (pronounced Toe-Ahk) chocolate bar is just 50 grams with a whopping $260 price tag per piece. It's a luxurious chocolate made from only two ingredients - Cacao Mass, and Cane Sugar.
Clubbing the bars with special types of rum and whiskeys makes it altogether a different kind of an experience. To your surprise, the chocolates come engraved with a bar number and in a Spanish elm box accompanied with 116-page booklet.

#5. Noka’s Vintage Collection
Price: $854
The company went out of business in the year 2011. But on the celebration of world chocolate day, there needs to be a special mention about the extravagant range of chocolates that once existed. Noka had an insanely expensive range and surely wasn't for the faint heart!
The high range chocolates were a mixture of 75% pure cocoa (varieties ranging from Ecuador, Venezuela and Cote d'Ivoire) covered in Noka's signature box elegantly crafted with stainless steel.

They even gave out tasting outlines and rules along with the flavor profiles of each chocolate.
Why Does Dark Chocolate Taste Bitter?
These were five sumptuous and luxurious chocolates. However, on World Chocolate Day you can indulge in any of your favorite variety, be it that huge Toblerone bar or just a simple hot chocolate milk. At least relishing a chocolate bar is better that eating green veggies (sometimes)!
