Queens Chocolatier Selling $1,000 Gold Thanksgiving Cornucopia

FOREST HILLS, QUEENS — A renowned Queens chocolatier is going for the gold this Thanksgiving. Forest Hills' Aigner Chocolates has unveiled a $1,000 golden cornucopia overflowing with handmade chocolates to sell to just one customer.

The over-the-top treat will be stuffed with handmade caramels, chocolate-covered pretzels, chocolate truffles, marzipan, dark and milk chocolate turkeys and cat tongues, plus chocolate-covered Twinkies, devil dogs and Oreos, according to a press release.

"Thanksgiving is a time to be grateful for our family and friends but can also be a fun time to go all out on what graces the dinner table," Aigner Chocolates co-owner Mark Libertini said in a statement. "We thought, why not go big this year? Gold is back in style and everyone loves a little chocolate to finish off a meal."

Founded in 1930, the historic chocolate shop was crowned the best in New York by the publication Mental Floss earlier this year.

Aigner is located at 103-02 Metropolitan Ave. For more information visit their website.
