It’s only a few days behind us; but I have a feeling the contents of that oddly shaped red box you received (or gave) weighs 95% less than it recently did. Your addiction is calling. It’s time to re-up. If you’re sportin’ deep pockets, I would suggest getting your fix from one of these world-renowned (but very pricey) chocolate producers.

Many chocolate producers strive for perfection… and Venezuelan cocoa is as close to perfection as it comes. Even though Côte d’Ivoire is the largest producer of cocoa in the world, the true chocolate champions head to South America.

From $69 to $2,600 per pound, these peeps are sure to fill your belly with goodness. Don’t need a whole pound? Chocopologie by Knipschildt will sell you a single dark chocolate truffle for $250. You may want to grab something to hold you over though… these truffles are available by pre-order only.

…. Here they are …
