Jacek Chocolate Couture’s Marie Antoinette Collection

Halloween, and we’re opting to take our sweets more seriously, starting with a box of handmade Marie Antoinette Collection chocolates from Jacek Chocolate Couture.

For the line, award-winning chocolatier Jacqueline Jacek was inspired by the opulence and fantasy of Louis XVI’s court—think powder-blue wigs, pastel Rococo gowns and Versailles’ Hall of Mirrors. Each dark French chocolate creation is infused with fresh, locally sourced ingredients worthy of Queen Marie’s macaroon box: orange blossom, lavender, orris root. Adorned with intricate gold flecks and Palace of Versailles-esque grids, these morsels are almost (and we mean almost) too pretty eat.

Chocolate fit for a queen. —Randall MacDonald
