Over at Luxist, they reported that La Maison du Chocolate has put
together one of the world's most expensive Easter
eggs. Priced at £50,000 (about $87,000), the 2-foot tall egg is made of chocolate that was imported from
France and is entirely covered with 100 half-carat diamonds. On the inside, the egg has a peach, apricot and
praline filling, and it is interesting to note that the egg - less the diamonds, of course - is completely
edible. The egg is on display at La Maison du Chocolate in
London.

chocolate candies are all well and good, but the end of Lent calls for
something of a splurge. Fortunately, the purveyors of fine chocolate and other goodies are more than happy to oblige
the impulse to celebrate the season. Here at Slashfood, we are happy to indulge whenever the opportunity arises, but
these luxury Easter chocolates are really ideal for a special occasion.
- Harry and David may not be the "go-to" chocolatier for some, but their Chocolate Praline Eggs are somehow shaped inside a colorful, real eggshell and need to be broken out before eating. A half dozen eggs are $29.99.
- Robert L. Strohecker's Assorted Rabbits are chocolate bunnies designed to have three different flavors of filling inside different parts of the rabbit: toasted almond ears, an almond butter crunch head, and a caramel pecan body. Available in both milk and dark chocolate, this is one bunny you won’t get bored with. They are $30.95 a pair.
- Neiman Marcus' Chocolate Easter Bunny is hand poured, hand decorated and hand wrapped. At nearly 5-pounds, it is one very big, but festive, bunny. Use it as a centerpiece, then serve it for dessert. Each bunny is $99.
