The chocolate truffle La Madeline au Truffle has been recognized by Forbes Magazine as the most expensive chocolate in the world with a $250 price tag.

It´s the Danish chef and chocolatier Fritz Knipschildt, owner and founder of Knipschildt Chocolatier and Chocopologie, a café in South Norwalk, Connecticut, who sells and makes these.

Since this truffle is considered the world's most expensive chocolate, it attracted investors from the Middle East and a second shop opened in Dubai a couple of years ago, but I´m unsure if the shop is still open. Both the Twitter and Facebook account for the Dubai shop aren´t up-to-date.
