The dark Belgian chocolate Truffle Gateaux, which is baked like a brownie but with the rich taste of a truffle have the same primary ingredients once consumed by the ancient Egyptians, dark chocolate and edible gold. The ancient Egyptians believed it therapeutic and that by swallowing gold you would enjoy eternal life.

The use of gold either by injection or taken in tablet form has been reported beneficial in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

The 23 carat edible gold Truffle Gateaux are baked like a brownie but have the taste and texture of a truffle. Made with 100% dark Callebaut Belgian chocolate and all natural ingredients, each Truffle Gateaux is decorated by hand with pure 23 carat edible gold.
