a week in the spotlight discussing the rising cost of chocolate


Last week, Dawn was featured on CBC’s Ontario Morning and CTV News Barrie, sharing insight into the rising cost of chocolate and what’s driving it.

That conversation began on CTV News in the context of Easter chocolate. While cocoa prices have recently started to ease, there’s a lag before those changes are reflected on store shelves—meaning higher prices are still being felt by consumers this season.

On CBC Radio, the focus was on the global cocoa market, where supply challenges have pushed prices to historic highs. For small-batch makers, these shifts directly impact sourcing and pricing—making it more important than ever to stay transparent and committed to quality.

Across both interviews, the message was clear: chocolate is shaped by a complex global supply chain, and behind every product is a series of decisions rooted in quality, sustainability, and community.
