Show Notes
Cocoa prices have plummeted, but your favorite chocolate bars wont regain their full chocolate content or larger sizes soon. Last years high cocoa costs led to reduced cocoa content, turning bars into chocolate flavour versions. Shoppers noticed shrinking sizes, from Celebrations tubs losing 150 grams to Cadbury Dairy Milk dropping 20 grams. Companies like Nestle and Pladis have no plans to adjust recipes or increase weights, despite cheaper cocoa. Easter eggs are up 9% this year, and new challenges from Middle East tensions are causing volatility in shipping, energy, and packaging costs. Keep an eye on Christmas shelves for potential relief if prices stabilize.
