Well, you are not alone.

Candy makers Ghirardelli and Russell Stover were slapped with a $750,000 fine last week after they were sued in California for alleging misleading customers by selling chocolate products in oversized containers that were “predominantly empty.”

Additionally, the lawsuit alleged that Ghirardelli was selling one chocolate product containing less cocoa than advertised.

Without admitting any wrongdoing, both firms agreed to pay the $750,000 in fines and improve their packaging practices. Some packages are now expected to shrink or have a transparent window so customers can look inside.

We will continue to aggressively monitor businesses and prosecute those that violate consumer protection laws,” Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig said in a statement.
