La Maison du Chocolat Tree

Filed under: Dining

Other chocolate companies aim for a more traditional tree but at La Maison due Chocolat they are going Cubist. The tree is a sculpture composed completely of chocolate and decorated in a variety of round and square shapes that are artistic as well as delectable The design is meant to allude to the artwork of Robert and Sonia Delaunay. The base is filled with dark chocolate pralines infused with mandarin and a milk chocolate praline infused with winter spices. The tree sells for $138. Alas they can't ship something quite this precarious so unless you are lucky enough to be in New York, London or Paris this season you'll have to content yourself with the more equally delectable boxed chocolates.
