Many's the time I've woken up, sprawled across the broken bed of some five star hotel, only to touch my face, feel something sticky, and pray, "Dear God, please let that be the chocolate." And on those rare instances when I'm lucky enough that it is indeed that delicious treat housekeeping left under the pillow, my only regret is that it's not one of the delightful confections concocted by my friend, Fritz Knipschildt, Maitre Chocolatier, of Knipschildt Chocolatier.

At $250 a piece, or $2000 a pound, his signature Madeleine truffle is worth every penny. In its center is an exquisite fungus that can be found exclusively in the Perigord region in France, and occasionally in Saint-Tropez, on Gerard Depardieu's abandoned thong.

For its many sensual pleasures and the rush of endorphins it releases, chocolate has long been considered a surrogate for sex. Not by me of course, because even after a night of pounding Techno and Absinthe, it's rather difficult to get a bar of candy to choke you as you climax. Nevertheless, Fritz's confections will take your breath away. (via Pocket Change NYC)
