up by at least 30% this year amid a surge in world cocoa prices
and the ongoing butter crisis, consumer group CODACONS said
Saturday.
The price of novelty eggs for children is up by 33% and
high-range top quality chocolate eggs cost up to 40% more this
year, it said.
Italy's traditional colomba or Easter dove of peace cakes are
seeing price hikes of around 22%, CODACONS said, because of the
butter price surge.
