10 Most Expensive Chocolates In the World

Previously, we already had the chance to talk about the 10 Most Expensive Paintings Ever Sold as well as the Most Expensive Cities To Live In, yours truly did a little research to find out what are the most expensive chocolates in the world. I hope this also interests you as much as it does me…

Everybody (at least almost) loves chocolate they say, and boy I couldn’t agree more. I, for one, prefer a chocolate bar over any other sweets like candy, cakes or ice creams. Did you know though, that people who describe chocolates a food for the gods aren’t actually wrong? The Latin name Theobroma for cacao tree (where cocoa then eventually chocolates came from), literally means food for the gods. The thing is, some of these heavenly treats can also cost like only gods can afford them…
