If you're really looking to wow a loved one on a romantic occasion, Danish chocolatier Fritz Knipschildt creates decadent chocolate truffles that are among some of the most expensive in the world. La Madeline au Truffle is made from a rare French Perigord truffle coated in 70% Valrhona dark chocolate, cream, sugar, truffle oil and vanilla and ganache, dark chocolate and cocoa powder.
As with all good things, making these chocolate truffles takes time—each one is individually made to order and is delivered in about two weeks. To present the chocolate truffle as the masterpiece it is, La Madeline au Truffle is displayed in a silver box with sugar beads. A single truffle from Fritz Knipschildt costs $250, so this is definitely an indulgent treat to enjoy slowly with every bite.
