It's the single best dessert I have ever eaten. Well worth the $51. Better still if someone else has procured it for you.

I'll have to wait for them to sell to Whole Foods here in the Patch. If you look at the ingredients on the web site, I'm not all that surprised at the $51 price (I assume for an 8x12 sheet, you're getting at least a pound or more.)
Good baking chocolate is not cheap. I paid close to $10 for a 9.7 oz. block of Scharffen Berger unsweetened chocolate and I think Valrhona may be more expensive (though you get better prices if you buy in bulk). Add in heavy cream and eggs and some sugar and you've got a good bit of the price in ingredients alone. Add labor, wholesaler profit and retailer profit and voila, $51.
EO and RT: if anyone ever publishes a recipe of a knock-off of this, please send it to me. I looooooove chocolate.
