How much of the price of “chocolates” is the actual chocolate in them? If the price of raw chocolate doubled, would that mean Hershey bars would cost twice as much too?

The minimum for calling it ‘chocolate’ is 10%. So if the price doubled , I assume the actual chocolate bar would only go up 10%.

Instead of candy bars, I just buy bars or baker’s chocolate, which has a higher chocolate content, and isn’t nearly as sweet. So I’d be looking at a much bigger price increase.
