Some of the finest things in the world don't have to last a lifetime; sometimes they only last seconds, especially when savoured by a sweet tooth
There is one sure-fire way to know if a chocolate bar is really good: when you hope and pray that each bite doesn't bring you closer to its sweet finish.

Some studies also suggest that these little snacks have the power to lower cholesterol levels and even alleviate stress.
In a world where it's almost sinful to hate these little brown treats, there are businesses and people who have made it their life's work to make the finest chocolates. We list out the world's most luxurious and expensive chocolates to help you build that must-try bucket list.
