NEW YORK (Reuters) - Mars Chocolate North America said on Wednesday that it will raise its prices by an average of 7 percent "to offset rising costs," marking its first increase in three years.
The price hike by Mars, which did not give an effective date, follows HERSHEY (HSY.NY)Co, the No. 1 candy maker in the United States, which on July 15 raised its chocolate prices about 8 percent due to soaring commodity costs.
