Chocolate got more expensive in the US

The wholesale prices are an average of 10% higher, and it's almost inevitable that consumers will pay the toll soon when they buy candy at the grocery store.

 The prices on the ingredients
responsible for the hike have gone up between 20% and 45% since the
beginning of 2008, says a company representative. That is huge.
Imagine running a business and having your cost to produce your good
or service increase that dramatically.
