Barry Callebaut Isn't Getting Chocolate From The Ivory Coast

This is really big news since Barry Callebaut is the largest distributor of chocolate in the world.  It appears that the political upheaval in this part of the world is getting to be too much.  I've been keeping track of this story and so far prices haven't skyrocketed yet, but there are many people that believe that chocolate prices for Easter will be very high.  Others are saying that alternative sources of chocolate are coming up and may be able to sustain the demand.  We shall soon see.  For me, I figure I'll enjoy the chocolate while it's resonable, and if prices shoot up, I'll just have to move to gummies and other sweet treats.
