As Valentine's Day approaches, the price of cocoa has never been higher.

The cost of the key ingredient in chocolate has been grinding upward for over two years. In the past year, it has more than doubled. This month, it broke the all-time record from 1977, the year before Hershey introduced Reese's Pieces.

I'm cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs, so it is kind of a big deal.

Yeah, chocoholism is a real disease and those who suffer from it shouldn't have to take this sort of abuse!
