Oh, no, absolutely not ... can't live without my chocolate :shock: If that's true I'm sure the price will skyrocket :-(

They were not kidding! I read it in the Business section of the paper. The flooding in Indonesia and other parts of the cocoa producing world have been clobbered. I think stockpiling is in order!

Yes, I had heard something to that effect a couple of months ago and it also effects coffee. What isn't going up? First fabric and now chocolate!!!!!

Oh no! What is this world coming to?? First, fabric prices going up, now chocolate! What's next? I bet it's a conspiracy cooked up by a bunch of spouses in their last ditch effort to get their partners to pay more attention to them! LOL

I will not live without chocolate...dark is my choice. Guess I will start a stash now while we still can!

Living without chocolate has made my waste line smaller. So it won't bother me at all.
