Politics and Chocolate

If you pay attention to the news you've probably been overwhelmed with the news about the political situation in the Ivory Coast.  What you may not know is how this is going to affect your candy eating habits.  Well, with the tensions easing in this part of the world, and a ban on exports being lifted, cocoa prices are going to start to fall.  This is because the Ivory Coast is one of the largest growers of the cocoa beans in the whole world.  Now you may notice that Easter prices are a little high this year, but trust me, things should settle down.
