Most expensive chocolates? Dh5,200 for a box of 15

Each chocolate will weigh around 15g.

A special box of chocolates, claimed to be the world's most expensive, was unveiled in India on Tuesday.

Fabelle Exquisite Chocolates, the home-grown luxury chocolate brand from ITC Ltd, revealed its most expensive chocolate listed under Guinness World Records with the launch of its limited edition Fabelle Trinity - Truffles Extraordinaire, the company announced.

The limited edition offering will be encased in a unique, hand-made wooden box, each containing 15 truffles, each weighing approximately 15g. The made-to-order box will be available at an indulgent price of Rs100,000 (inclusive of taxes). That comes to around Dh5,200.
