☆ Valentine's Day chocolate prices highest in years amid cocoa shortage

But lovers may experience sticker shock this year due to higher cocoa and sugar prices. "Chocolate prices are the highest we've seen in years," said a representative of NielsenIQ. He noted that in spite of higher prices, the chocolate market is robust in mature markets like Europe and North America. Now, chocolate and Valentine's Day are synonymous, even if critics say the affiliation is perpetuated by marketing gimmicks. That being said, chocolates are not the only Valentines' Day treats that will dent the wallet this year.

☆ Halloween chocolate is pricier this year as El Niño hits cacao bean crop

"There is not much room for error, which makes cocoa especially vulnerable to climate change," said Branch. Coupled with an already-pressured sugar market, the cocoa shortage has spooked major chocolate makers, sending prices of classic candies higher this Halloween season. Specialty chocolatiers have so far been immune to the elevated cocoa prices. Greg D'Alesandre, who leads chocolate sourcing for specialty brand Dandelion Chocolate, said its prices are protected from industry-wide volatility because the company pays a premium for high-end cocoa suppliers. A bad cocoa-growing season makes Halloween chocolate not only more expensive, but sometimes, it also makes it smaller.
