Debauve & Gallais’s Le Livre
Debauve
How Much: $550
To commemorate this French chocolatier’s 200th anniversaire in 2000, “Le Livre” (book, in French) debuted. Thirty-five chocolates (a mix of ganaches and pralines) are arranged in a gold-embossed leather box that resembles a handsome book, more like an encyclopedia. Fifteen years later, this beauty is still in the chocolatier’s portfolio, which also features truffles, bonbons, hot-chocolate chips, white-chocolate bars and “Pistoles De Marie Antoinettes” (gold coins).
