Climate change is being blamed for the lack of cocoa beans that is pushing up the cost of chocolate and therefore the price of Easter eggs.

According to Sky News:

Seasonal dusty winds from the Sahara have been severe in recent months, blocking out the sunlight needed for cocoa bean pods to grow in Ghana, the Ivory Coast, Nigeria and Cameroon - where around three-quarters of the world's cocoa is produced.

A spokesperson for Chocoholics Anonymous told FNN:

My name is Cadbury Rowntree and I am a chocoholic.

This news is a disaster for chocoholics as soon they will be unable to afford to binge on chocolate in their quest to become obese and diabetic.

The effect on the NHS could be dramatic as both obesity and diabetes go into decline.

EU spokesperson, Ursula Von Richthofen, told FNN:

We are not bothered by this news. We already have a cocoa stash masquerading as a hill in the Harz Mountains in northwestern Germany.

So we will be able to continue to supply Ritter bars to anyone in the EU while Brexit Britain is starved of its disgusting Dairy Milk and Milky Bar chocolate.

Swedish Lutheran minister, Greta Thunderberg, commented:

We are not bothered either. Chocolate is not Swedish.

Like our famous meatballs, chocolate was invented somewhere else and our so-called Swedish chocolate is nothing more than another example of hateful cultural appropriation.
