Here is the list ~
'Frrrozen' Haute Chocolate ~
This sundae, which is the most costly dessert in the Guinness Book of World Records, was developed in 2007 to advertise Serendipity 3, a New York-based restaurant. It came in a gold cup with a white diamond lining that held five ounces of edible 23-karat gold mixed with a combination of 28 chocolates. It had incurred up to $25,000 in expenses.
Golden Speckled Chocolate Egg ~
The Golden Speckled Egg, deemed the “most expensive non-jeweled chocolate egg” by the Guinness Book of World Records, is three feet tall and two inches wide, weighing little over 100 pounds. In 2012, the egg brought in $11,107 at auction, with all earnings going to charity. Seven chocolatiers from Japan and the United Kingdom made it. Gourmet chocolate filling, edible gold leaf, and amedei chocolate were added. Twelve chocolate mini-eggs, twenty chocolate bars, and five white chocolate flowers were also used to decorate it.
Cadbury Wispa Gold Chocolate Bar ~
The well-known chocolate manufacturer Cadbury made the decision to reintroduce Wispa Gold Bar in 1995. The chocolate, which cost $1600 and was wrapped in edible gold leaf, was prepared using quality Madagascan cocoa beans. The bar was offered for sale, but the chocolate was kept by Cadbury once the successful bidder was revealed. Presently, it is shown at their museum dedicated to chocolate, Cadbury World, and less expensive copies of the bar are available in stores worldwide.
Swarovski Studded Chocolates ~
With 2010, the department store giant Harrods and the Lebanese chocolatier Patchi collaborated to produce 49 pieces of dark chocolate covered with Swarovski crystals and embellished with gold and silk roses. They had carefully wrapped them in Indian silk and placed them inside a box made of leather. The opulent chocolate box, which originally cost $10,000, is no longer on sale.
Life is like a chocolate box, Each chocolate is like a portion of life, Some are crunchy, some are nutty, Some are soft, but all are DELICIOUS. Happy Chocolate Day to everyone reading this ! ~
