I'm surprised they went up more than a cent or two given how little chocolate is actually in the standard American candy bar. I imagine the 70% cocoa bars will see some significant price increases.

Better prices elsewhere.

I find that prices are better at a full-scale grocery store/supermarket than at a smaller scale "convenience" store.
