Cocoa Crashed This Year. So Why Is Your Halloween Candy Still This Pricey?
Cocoa has round-tripped from a record above $10,000 a metric ton to a spring crash near $2,850 and back toward $5,700, yet the price of fun-size chocolate on the shelf has only moved one way.
Cocoa prices went up and down a lot this year, but chocolate candy prices at stores mostly just went up and stayed high. When you buy a chocolate company's stock, watch if they lower candy prices when their ingredient costs drop—that shows they care about keeping customers happy.
