The World's Fanciest Chocolate Truffle: La Madeline au Truffe

Looking for the most extravagant chocolate in the world? Well, you’ve found it! Knipschildt’s La Madeline au Truffe was recognized by Forbes Magazine as the most expensive chocolate in the world.

La Madeline au Truffle starts with a decadent 70% Valrhona dark chocolate, heavy cream, sugar, truffle oil and vanilla as the base for the rich decadent ganache. A rare French Perigord truffle (a rare mushroom) is then surrounded by this rich decadent ganache; it is enrobed in Valrhona dark chocolate and then rolled in fine cocoa powder. The result is pure extravagance! It arrives lying on a bed of sugar pearls in a gold box tied with a ribbon.
