La Maison Du Chocolat opens on Wall Street.
When it comes to chocolate, I'm a bit of a snob. I grew up on European chocolate so I never quite understood the fascination with the Hershey bar. My favorite chocolate brand is La Maison Du Chocolat; a French chocolate maker with just a few stores around the world. Their prices are pretty steep, (about $45 for a box of champagne truffles) but the flavors are quite simply mind blowing. Thankfully they have something for every budget in their assortment, and you can pick up a box for as little as $7.50.
If you live in New York, you can visit one of their boutiques, including the recently opened Wall Street store, which opened just in time to sell chocolate to desperate traders.
If you are chocolate fan, then I highly suggest telling Santa about them, and begging for a sampler box. You will not regret it.
To me, nothing says I love you, more than A sweet and melting Gianduja praliné mixed with caramelized and finely ground hazelnuts.
The new Maison Du Chocolat store can be found at 63 Wall Street, if you can't make it to the store, they will gladly accept online orders from anywhere in the world.

$7.50 for two squares of chocolate? You've got to be kidding me.

@paul; no disagreement from me there. And I'd never claim that their products are an "everyday thing". It's just the kind of thing you can do once a year, or get for someone very special.
The price IS insane, but if you know a chocoholic, it's a very special gift they won't mind receiving :)
