Easter Candy Deals

Indulging this Easter is going to be a whole lot more expensive. According to the Daily Mail, Easter chocolate will cost as much as 140% more than last year. It’s all because cocoa prices have hopped by as much as $800 a ton in the past few months. That means chocolatiers are forced to pay higher prices for ingredients and that will be passed on to the consumer. Avoid turning your Easter basket into a pot of gold by filling it with some of these Easter candy deals.
