SNOB APPEAL CHOCOLATE.
Would you pay $14,000 for a box of 6 chocolate truffles? Believe it or not, that is what Ross Ltd. is charging. Ross is located in Kazakhstan, an oil-rich country with petro-millionaires and billionaires, although most people living there are dirt poor. The prices that some rich people are willing to pay for snob appeal products always amazes me. Have these people nothing better to do with their money? If you want to know what could possibly justify a price of $14,000 for a box of chocolates, the answer is simple – NOTHING! To see what these truffles look like, go to: $14,000 Truffles.
NEW IN MY CHOCOLATE ROOM.
HAMANTASHEN. I’ve got handmade raspberry and apricot filled hamantashen in the chocolate room, bottom-dipped in semisweet and milk chocolate. Because they are handmade, no 2 are exactly alike. This is a seasonal item and will only be available for a short time. The word ‘hamantashen’ means ‘Haman’s pockets’ in Yiddish and German.P.S. – I don’t often make make chocolate truffles. They are too time consuming. However, if you are willing to pay me $14,000, I will make up a very nice box of truffles – just for you!
