$250 Chocolate Truffle – La Madeline au Truffe

by Luxe Living on August 27, 2008

La Madeline au Chocolate Truffe

La Madeline au Truffe, created by Fritz Knipschildt (whose shop, Knipschildt Chocolatier, is in Norwalk, Connecticut), has a ganache (rich chocolate center) made of Valrhona dark chocolate.

High-quality stuff yes, but is that a legitimate reason for a single chocolate truffle to launch into the triple digits? $250 to be exact.

This ganache also contains heavy cream. Well, so do many handmade homemade truffles but we’re not selling those to our friends and families for $250 a pop.

That truffle picture is absolutely mouth watering. Not sure I’d fork out $250 for it, but it does look tastie.

This is such a great site. Keep up the great work.
