The Hershey Company has recently announced their plan to raise prices this fall due to cocoa costs that have doubled because of poor weather and crop disease.
“This change is not related to tariffs or trade policies. It reflects the reality of rising ingredient costs including the unprecedented cost of cocoa,” Hershey said in a statement to the Associated Press.
Luckily, Hershey stressed that the price increases won’t apply to products specially packaged for Halloween!
