Why?
Global ingredient costs
Chocolate ingredients are globally traded commodities with relatively stable costs.
Brand and packaging
Much of the extra price comes from brand, packaging, and advertising rather than geography.
European-scale pricing
Big chocolate brands price at European scale, so country differences stay smaller than brand premiums.
