Chocolate is more than just a sweet treat—it’s a symbol of celebration, joy, and sometimes, serious indulgence. While most of us enjoy a square or two with our coffee or as an afternoon pick-me-up, there’s another level of chocolate entirely: the luxury kind. We’re talking about the most expensive chocolate in the world—crafted with rare ingredients, hand-finished details, and price tags that rival designer handbags.
As a brand built on premium cocoa and conscious choices, we at The Cocoa Circle love seeing how far chocolate can go. These creations might sit at the top of the market, but they also remind us of cocoa’s power to inspire awe, creativity, and connection. Here are six of the most expensive chocolates you can buy today—and why they’re worth knowing about.
1. To’Ak Masters Series Enriquestuardo
To’Ak is one of the most expensive chocolate companies worldwide. Their chocolates are among the most luxurious and gourmet choices.
The To’Ak Masters Series Enriquestuardo pays tribute to the ancient history of Ecuador. They are made with the Nacional cocoa variety, the purest form of chocolate, found in an Ecuadorian valley. These cocoa beans’ distinctive and aromatic flavour makes them a favourite among connoisseurs and chocolate lovers.
Each 50-gram To’Ak Masters Series Enriquestuardo chocolate bar brings delicious flavors of honey, caramel, cashews, and plum, with a roasted cocoa bean in the middle.
You will also find an original “Guardianes” artwork by Enrique Estuardo Alvarez Cruz, an eminent Ecuadorian artist, in the box.

If you want to buy something that screams extravaganza, the La Madeline au Truffe by House of Knipschildt is among the most notable mentions.
Forbes Magazine titled this chocolate truffle the most expensive chocolate worldwide in 2019, eventually leading to the fame of the Danish chocolatier Fritz Knipschildt.

The truffle is delivered on a bed of sugar pearls in a gold box beautifully tied with a ribbon. You can keep it in the refrigerator for up to seven days (if you can stop yourself from relishing this delicacy at once!)
