Trick-or-treaters might notice smaller candy bowls this Halloween, and it’s not because homeowners are feeling stingy. Parag Amin, Managing Attorney and Founder of LawPLA, recently appeared on ABC11 WTVD in Raleigh to break down the economic forces driving up candy costs this year. The culprit? A combination of tariffs and global supply shortages that are making chocolate-based treats significantly more expensive, leaving families to rethink their Halloween shopping strategies.
During the segment, Parag offered practical advice for budget-conscious shoppers: consider switching to sugar-only candies or opting for store brands to keep costs down without skimping on the Halloween spirit. For business owners watching these pricing trends, the candy crisis reflects broader economic pressures affecting consumer goods across industries.
