Take a bit of French black truffle, wrap it in Valrhona chocolate, and
sell it for $2,600 per pound.
Actually, the # 2 looks pretty appetizing, and it is only $854 a pound.

Knipschildt Chocolatier was founded in 1999 by Fritz Knipschildt, who
got his culinary education as a chef in Denmark. The most-expensive
chocolate he sells--a $250 dark chocolate truffle with a French black
truffle inside--is available on a preorder-only basis. It's made of 70%
Valrhona cacao, which is blended into a creamy ganache with truffle
oil. The truffle is then hand-rolled with a dark truffle on the inside
and dusted with cocoa powder.
Must be fun being a Forbes "journalist."
