The challenge
Chocolate in many formats, and a cost for every format
The same bar or the same panettone is sold in several formats and sizes. Each format has its own packaging and its own amount of chocolate.
When the price of cocoa or cream goes up, that change has to reach all the recipes that use them at the same time.
