Why chocolate is so expensive this year

You may have noticed that some chocolates are more expensive this year. Blame rising commodities and energy prices. The chocolate industry has not really escaped the event that affects all economic sectors. With the rise in commodity prices, cocoa prices have risen since this week. But, above all, there is the price of the card used for packaging, which has increased by 50% in the last six months. So some chocolates are starting to send these increases in stores, while others are cutting their margins.
