Ever noticed your favorite chocolate suddenly feels like a luxury item? In the UK, a box of Maltesers is now as pricey as sirloin steak! This isn’t just sticker shock—bad weather and crop diseases in West Africa (where most cocoa comes from) have sent chocolate prices soaring. Big brands are swapping out ingredients, and small chocolatiers are shrinking their treats. Pro tip: Look for fair-trade labels and store your snacks smartly to stretch your sweet budget. #Business #ChocolateCrisis #FoodPrices
