Droughts in West Africa are raising cocoa prices and forcing changes to milk chocolate recipes, affecting taste, size, and labeling.
Climate change is threatening chocolate supplies, with droughts in West Africa driving up cocoa prices and forcing some candy makers to alter milk chocolate recipes by replacing cocoa butter with other fats.
