The Top 10 Most Pricey Chocolates In The World

As the saying goes, there’s always room for dessert. When we talk about sweet treats, chocolates are typically right in the spotlight. How can you resist a delicious bite that melts in your mouth? 

Chocolate, no matter the flavor, is proven to increase the endorphins released in the brain, decreasing stress and pain from the body. Additionally, chocolate also initiates the release of the neurotransmitter serotonin, which is a natural anti-depressant. Therefore, this sweet treat is considered to be comfort food by many. 

ADVERSTISEMENT

The bizarre thing is, there are types of chocolate that are delectably mouth-watering but are extremely expensive. In this article, we are going to find out the world’s most pricey chocolates. Most of these chocolates are made abroad, which adds up to their cost.
