Chocolate prices are soaring globally, with brands like Toblerone and Cadbury raising prices by up to 15% last year. Retail prices have risen due to wholesale cocoa prices hitting $10,000 a ton, leading to a 12% increase in the average unit price of chocolate eggs over the past year. Easter eggs have become significantly more expensive this year, with prices for eggs rising by 21% and chocolate bars by as much as 33%. Changing climate patterns and cocoa price crisis are contributing factors to the price surge.
