Not to get spooky, but has anyone else felt a chill while walking down the Halloween candy aisle?

Unfortunately, it might not be unseen ghosts causing a shudder, but the price of chocolate. The cost of the popular sweets has been on the rise for quite some time, and this past year was no exception.

According to research conducted by Finance Buzz, the price tag of 100-piece candy bags rose on average by about $2 this year compared to 2024. And those who have been buying the big bags every Halloween to hand out candy or just eat it on the couch might remember an even more affordable time.

Since 2020, there has been a 78% increase in the price of the 100-piece bags of goodies. On average, that accounts for an approximate $7 increase for the treats over the past five years.
