10:00 – As cocoa prices soar to record highs, we’re seeing the chocolate industry respond with slightly smaller products and reformulating ingredients — and customers are noticing the smaller portions and change in taste.

12:00 – We revisit Evan’s conversation with Samantha Becotte from earlier this morning.
