Say hello to Dandelion Chocolate’s $45 design-centric chocolate bar

So. Here is a $45 chocolate bar now available from Dandelion Chocolate. It’s dubbed the “Break Bar.”

The limited edition six-ounce bar — described as “this holiday’s most delicious design object” — is actually a collaboration with Cool Hunting and Brooklyn-based collaborative designers Snarkitecture. As you might be able to tell, it’s a chocolate bar that looks broken … but actually comes together perfectly with its opposite half.

All profits benefit San Francisco non-profit Southern Exposure.
And how about that price point? Well, Dandelion’s Jennifer Roy points out that the bars are so time-intensive that they can only make 50 a day, and there are only about 500 available. Apparently, the trial and error with using nesting 70% Belize chocolate bars took the team several months to perfect.

“It’s a piece of art. It’s absolutely gorgeous. The packaging is letter-pressed, specifically for the chocolate bars,” she says. “If you saw what went into making each bar, it’s ridiculous.”
Plus, it’s for charity.
