Music's top performers attending the annual Grammy Awards Sunday, were given a little something extra to make the night even sweeter – a luxury chocolatier's edible diamond collection.
According to the Daily Herald, gourmet chocolate company Chocolatines was selected to provide its edible diamond collection to the star-studded event, over which pop princess Beyonce reigned with six wins. The line was part of the gift bags given to 170 presenters and performers.
The chocolate diamond collection featured dark chocolate covering single-malt Scotch, Grand Marnier or Champagne ganache. The shiny candy "diamonds" were made of special crystallized sugar, which according to Chocolatines, is not as sweet as traditional candy and retains much less moisture than regular sugar.
Each “collection” included four diamonds, and an assortment of gourmet chocolates with different flavors.
