Are you handing out cheaper candy this Halloween because of chocolate prices?

by fullSizeBarBull418 votes

A 100-piece variety bag now averages about $17, up 71% since 2021, with chocolate taking the biggest hit from cocoa costs. Shoppers are drifting toward gummies, sour candy and sales hunting to keep trick-or-treating affordable. Do you cut back, switch it up, or go big anyway?

    Gummies are honestly a hit with kids anyway.

    Full-size bars make you the legend of the street.
