La Madeline au Truffle is a $250 Chocolate by Knipschildt

Touted by its creators (and for good reason!) as “the most extravagant chocolate in the world,” La Madeline au Truffe is without a doubt the star of Connecticut-based company Knipschildt’s lineup.

The ganache (the fancy, French way of saying chocolate paste) is crafted using 70% Valrhona dark chocolate, heavy cream, sugar, truffle oil, and vanilla, and features a rare French Perigord truffle at its center. All these ingredients are expertly put together, creating this mouthwatering masterpiece.

Each La Madeline au Truffe chocolate is made to order and takes about 14 days to deliver. It has a shelf life of about seven days, so if you’re thinking about presenting it as a gift for a special occasion, you’ll want to take all this information into account. You might also want to know the price, which is a hefty $250 – quite a bit for a tiny bit of candy, but totally worth it!
