Expect to pay more for chocolate today as chocolate candy prices are up 10 to 20% over this time last year. This is because raw chocolate prices have nearly tripled since last year as a result of poor cocoa harvests in Ghana, the primary producer of cocoa, over the past three years. Other countries are planting more cocoa plants but it will be 5-6 years before they are ready to harvest.
