Cocoa cheap now but Easter egg still expensive? Same story with everything

Cocoa dropped from over $12,000 a ton to around $3,000. But chocolate still costs 14% more in the US, and in UK the egg is smaller and costs more per gram.

They say it is hedging, the candy was made months ago. Ok, maybe. But when prices go up, shops change price next day. When prices go down, suddenly we must wait for 'timing'. As delivery driver I see the same with fuel. Up fast, down slow.

Am I wrong?
