The Guinness World Records world record for the most valuable chocolate bar in the world is a 100-year old Cadbury's chocolate bar which went on Captain Robert Scott's first Discovery expedition (1901-1904) to the Antarctic. The bar, which is 10 cm (4 in) long, wrapped and uneaten in a cigarette tin, was bought for £470 ($687) by an anonymous buyer at Christie's, London, UK on 25 September 2001.
Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the most expensive cocktail was sold for £8,583 ($12,970) and was made by Joel Heffernan (Australia), at Club 23, Melbourne, Australia, on 7 February 2013.

It's ferried to your table covered by a glass cloche to contain the applewood smoke in which it's been marinating since leaving the oven minutes earlier.
Chef Richard Farnabe, Petrossian's executive chef and the soufflé's creator, was encouraged to experiment with no thought to cost, to use the most premium ingredients in as great quantities as he wanted.
