Above is the Frrozen Haute Chocolate sold for a whopping $25,000.The delicacy is made from a blend of 28 rare cocoas from around the world and contains five grams of edible 23-karat gold and is served in a crystal goblet (imported from Rome) which is also lined with edible gold. It is topped with whipped cream, more gold sprinkles, and a side of La Madeline au Truffle from Knipschildt Chocolatier, which sells for $2,600 a pound. There are also take home goodies that come with the treat, such as an 18K gold bracelet with a carat's worth of diamonds that rests at the base of the goblet and a gold spoon set with white and chocolate-colored diamonds.
