La Madeline au Truffe
La Madeline au Truffe, also known as Madeline Truffle, is unique on this list in that, despite being the cheapest entry, the price is for a single piece of chocolate rather than a box or collection. The truffle is made with 70% Valrhona dark chocolate as its base. The ganache is made with heavy cream, vanilla, and truffle oil, and it is encased in the center by a French Périgord truffle. This is, of course, dusted with cocoa powder.
Your La Madeline au Truffe will arrive in a gold and wood box. The truffle is surrounded by ribbons and rests on a bed of candy pearls. The box says "Guinness World Records" on the outside because this truffle, which costs $250, is recognized as the world's most expensive single chocolate.
The House of Knipschildt, despite its name and use of classic European confectionary techniques, is actually located in Connecticut.
Did you know that?
Périgord truffles or black truffles are Southern European mushrooms that are not typically found in chocolate. Because they are the second most expensive edible fungus on the planet (after white truffles), they are highly sought-after ingredients in meat, soup, and risotto dishes. They significantly enhance the flavor (and the price tag) of this luxurious chocolate in the center.
