Hershey to Raise Chocolate Prices Due to Cocoa Costs

Hershey to Raise Chocolate Prices Due to Cocoa Costs

Hershey, the company that makes chocolate, is going to raise the price of its candies.

This is because the ingredients used to make chocolate, especially cocoa, have become very expensive.

The company is talking to stores about how much the prices will go up.

Cocoa prices were very high at the end of last year but have come down a little.

Hershey had previously said they would adjust prices to deal with high costs.

They are working on new ways to manage prices, like maybe changing the size of the chocolate bars or the cost.
