A proposal to remember

Planning to propose on Valentine's Day? Millions of people frequently do. If you're one of them — and you have $9.85 million to spare — you can do it in style.

That's the amount a couple would pay for eating at Arnaud's in New Orleans' French Quarter, which has been considered by some as the grande dame of Creole dining since 1918. The restaurant's signature dish is Strawberries Arnaud, a luxury dessert that includes fresh Louisiana strawberries, Tahitian vanilla ice cream, a rare port wine sauce, Ceylon cinnamon, lightly sweetened whipped cream, and sprigs of fresh mint for garnish. What makes this dessert worth its nearly eight figures is the rare 10.06-karat natural fancy royal blue diamond ring from M.S. Rau Antiques that comes with it.



A Serendipitous date

If you're interested in cozying up to some hot cocoa this Valentine's Day, Serendipity 3 in New York City is your spot. In 2007, the eatery's $25,000 Frrrozen Haute Chocolate earned the Guinness World Record for the most expensive dessert, and is infused with 28 different flavors of cocoas, 14 of which are some of the most rare and expensive in the world, says Joe Calderone, a spokesman for the restaurant.

The drink is infused with 5 grams of edible 24-karat gold, gold-flaked whipped cream, and a side of La Madeline au Truffle (the world's priciest), which sells for $2,600 a pound. The sweet creation is served in a gold crowned goblet along with an 18-karat gold spoon, and decorated with 3 karats of white, black and chocolate diamonds.

Serendipity 3's Frrrozen Haute Chocolate needs to be ordered two weeks in advance and is available all year round. For a more bargain price, the restaurant also offers a Golden Opulence Sundae, which includes Tahitian vanilla ice cream with just an 18-karat spoon, for $1,000. "Well over a thousand have been sold," Calderone told CNBC.
