The world’s most expensive chocolate went on display at a chocolate fair in Obidos in Portugal on Friday.
Priced at Sh 961,9047 (728 euros) and covered in edible gold, the chocolate is part of a limited edition of 1,000 bonbons.
It has a filling of saffron threads, white truffle, and vanilla from Madagascar and gold flakes.
It was guarded by two uniformed men.
Its creator, Portuguese chocolatier Daniel Gomes, said the diamond-shaped chocolate was certified as the world’s most expensive by the Guinness Book of Records, which in 2017 listed $250 La Madeline au Truffe made by Danish artisan chocolate-maker Fritz Knipschildt’s as the record holder.
Its crown-shaped box is decorated with 5,500 Swarovksi crystals and also carries personalized pincers.
