I’m not sure if this is a good idea or not. It’s certainly pricey! Tell me what you think of this.
A suburban St. Louis chocolate maker, Bud Kolbrener, figured that in the race for girls best friend chocolate must be a close second to diamonds. He’s figured out a way to combine the two to create a very decadent gift.
The cost of the gift? 1.5 million dollars!
If you can afford this gift you’ll get a sparkling box of candy decked out with 13 pieces of diamond jewelry, with the centerpiece being a bracelet with 30 carats of yellow and colorless white diamonds and matching diamond earrings.
I don’t know- would you eat the chocolate with the diamonds in it if you were lucky enough to get that as a gift?
For some reason I’m picturing a woman sitting spitting out diamonds like people do watermelon seeds.
Somehow this idea loses it’s appeal with that picture in my head.

Strange Facts and Tales
Stephen King, author of numerous best-selling horror novels — many of which have been turned into equally terrifying movies – once made the following observation: “Some people say that I must be a terrible person, but it’s not true. I have the heart of a young boy. In a jar on my desk.”
