Why is Halloween candy so expensive this year?
Original: Why is Halloween candy so expensive?
Shoppers are noticing unusually high prices for Halloween candy as the holiday approaches. Rising cocoa costs, sugar tariffs and general inflation have pushed candy prices well above last year's levels, and consumers are venting about the cost of trick-or-treating staples. Retailers are responding with promotions, but many families say they are buying less or skipping candy altogether this season.
Why now: Consumers are shopping for Halloween treats and reacting to noticeably higher candy prices.
