If only we had a means of encouraging people to produce more of a scarce item and discouraging people from consuming it. Wait, there might be...I think it’s called “price.” Exactly.
Unless I'm overlooking something, nobody actually NEEDS chocolate, but a lot of people WANT chocolate.
The candy companies should just raise the price until the market evens out. I don't know why they're complaining, this seems like a golden opportunity for them to make more money for their shareholders.

They will get fewer customers too.
But this is a good time to do imaginative things that stretch chocolate out. Like whipped nougats.
