Chocolate is set to get more expensive as cocoa prices soar to seven-year highs

[THE_DEVIL]

Chocolate prices have risen by 14% in the past year, according to consumer intelligence database NielsenIQ. Sugar, another principal ingredient of chocolate, is also seeing price spikes — breaching an 11-year high in April. Among the different varieties of chocolate, prices of dark will reportedly be the hardest hit.

Sugar prices could be brought down immediately.

It's much less expensive pretty much everywhere else in the world, but our government has tariffs on sugar imports to protect our sugar cane (and to a lesser extent, beet) farmers.

Americans don't eat real chocolate. We eat chocolate flavored sugar.
