"The Hershey Co. announced Wednesday it is increasing the price of its chocolate goods by almost 10 percent.
The Derry Twp.-based chocolate manufacturer said the price bump was needed to offset rising production costs, including record prices for cocoa, one of the key ingredients of chocolate."

"Cocoa prices hit a 32-year high this week as political violence flared in Ivory Coast.
Prices have rallied 37% since Ivory Coast's disputed Nov. 28 election that set off the crisis. The internationally recognized president, Alassane Ouattara, has banned exports of cocoa to squeeze his incumbent rival from power. The most actively traded contract, for May delivery, hit $3,775 a metric ton Friday before settling at $3,657 a ton.
