Have chocolate prices got you down? The global cocoa crisis has driven chocolate prices through the roof, making Easter a budget-buster this year. Well, don't worry! These retailers are here to soothe your choco-challenges.
Candy Warehouse
Candy Warehouse is like an online Willy Wonka factory but without the creepy Oompa Loompas. They carry most of the big-name brands and have more chocolate than you can shake a Pixie-Stick at, all at prices that won't leave you feeling saltier than a chocolate-covered pretzel. Candy Warehouse is a great option for a choco-shopping spree that won't break the bank. Give 'em a look when you're hunting for goodies. BONUS: Candy Warehouse has brick-and-mortar locations, so you can have your own little Wonkaland experience #irl.
Nuts.com
We know you asked for candy, not nuts, but don't fret; Nuts.com has got the choco. Nuts.com is like a chocolate connoisseur's secret stash. They have every type of treat you can imagine for the fam this year. Unlike Candy Warehouse's bulk bins, Nuts.com focuses on quality over name brands and bulk, but they still have some awesome deals like lemony chocolate marshmallow bites or rich dark chocolate with dried raspberries. Noms! You'd be nuts not to give 'em a look.
Oriental Trading
Oriental Trading might not be the first place that comes to mind for chocolate, but it's like a hidden treasure chest filled with budget-friendly chocolate doubloons. Oriental Trading is a great one-stop shop for fun chocolate delights, like bulk bags of Hershey's Kisses or adorable (and affordable) boxed chocolate bunnies for Easter baskets. You can even find fun candy molds for crafting your own goodies. So, if you're looking for fun finds to add a touch of whimsy to holiday parties, Oriental Trading is a surprisingly sweet option for your chocolate savings.
Of course, there are also great deals on Amazon, like 2 lbs of Reese's Eggs for $9.99, Walmart chocolate clearance deals on a ton of grub, and Sam's Club sales on bulk Hershey brands.
We know inflation is a bummer, but when you do some research, you may be able to find those truffles in the rough!
