I did my own personalised chocolate bars for my little boys party last march. It was a little bit fiddly but impressed my friend as she asked me to do hers too! Plan to do them again this year and hopefully may get a few orders.

can you please tell me where you got the chocolate as i want to do this too

Yep I think someone mentioned it on the first page that you can't use branded chocolate like Dairy Milk or Galaxy.

I suppose you could find a supplier but surely the franchiser is missing a trick by not providing the chocolate too?

I think we may need to become a Chocolatier too!

well i wanted to do it all myself and not go through a franchiser. seems easy enough theres software you can buy, you can buy the paper in bulk quite easily i just need to find some chocolate that i can sell!

I thought they did supply the chocolate, and that the bars and wrappers they supplied were slightly different sizes to other bars so it would be more difficult to buy from anywhere but them.

Or just buy some moulds and melt down Cadbury's. Maybe even mix several brands to create your own!

im not sure if you can do that either geordie joe. wouldnt you need some food standards officer to visit your home to make sure you're complying with health and safety regs?

you also need to make sure you're displaying nutritional info etc on packaging

Although I have used this on a local basis, making wrapped sweets for my grandkids etc., the applications can be used for many different lines.
