Why Are Prices Rising?

This chart shows the Producer Price Index (PPI) for the chocolate and confectionery industry over the last decade.  Over the last several years, and, especially this last year, the steep rise reflects skyrocketing costs for cocoa, sugar, packaging, and more.  Add global chocolate shortages, and I can say we’ve never seen anything like this.

We faced a choice: switch to flavored juices, “chocolatey” coatings and other subpar ingredients, or stay true to ourselves and make products we can be proud of. We chose quality.  While mass producers cut corners, we’re committed to keeping our treats as authentic and delicious as ever, even as rising costs affect us directly. 

Thank you for your understanding and for supporting our handcrafted sweets. It truly means the world to us!
