Rising ingredient costs prompted Hershey to raise prices on chocolate products, and the company noted the change is unrelated to tariffs or trade policies.

The price change will be a "low double-digit increase" and affect products across the company's confection portfolio, according to a Hershey spokesperson. Founded in 1894, the Pennsylvania-based company owns over 90 brands including Hershey Kisses, KitKat, Reese's and York.

The price changes will impact multiple products in Hershey’s portfolio that are made with chocolate. Among the items expected to increase in price are Hershey Kisses, KitKat, Reese’s and York Peppermint Patties. Hershey’s says price increases typically take around 90 days to take effect.
