Could I sell these as party favours?

[carrie3003]

I recently began making these treats in preparation for my daughter’s birthday and thought they were cute! Can do any colour and writing etc personalised to the person/occasion.

They are oreos, Rice Krispie bars and jammy dodgers dipped in chocolate and decorated.

Would you buy these? How much could I potentially charge?

Please be honest as just an idea!
Thank you

Three for a pound
They are ok but not premium and I’d probably buy for kids

They're lovely but their is no money in this type of business

Love these and would happily pay £5 for 3!

No I wouldn't. Why ruin a biscuit by dipping it in chocolate? And why are they grey? They look horrible.

You'd need to register as a food business, be inspected for food hygiene, have public and product liability insurance, provide allergen information...if you're serious about this as a business, you'll need to do some homework first. Tbh, I doubt there's much money in it

Sorry no. Too tacky.

Also very messy to eat as you have to hold on to the melting chocolate.

Especially bad in hot weather.

You have to factor your time in to decorate, they are fragile so lots breakages and potential for waste to come off your bottom line. Great for a fair or charity day but not a serious business.
You’d make more by cleaning per hour which keeps you fit, saving a gym membership/training time from your day and the outlay is low
great to be crafty and an achievement but not an earner.
think of all the potential public liability problems with gluten, nuts, you have to label up too if selling/ sell by dates/ food hygiene certification etc

They are nice. But definitely need to be a different colour. The grey doesn’t look very appealing.

They look lovely! But I wouldn’t want to pay much for something based on cheap biscuits. If I’m paying premium prices I want it to taste good, too.

I’m not a massive hygiene freak, but I would also be wary of buying something that hadn’t been made in a real professional kitchen. I’m not one of those people who will never eat homemade cakes, but if they’re not properly professional I want them to be from someone I know and trust.

No I wouldn’t unless they were completely homemade, from what you’ve said you’ve just dipped biscuits bought in a shop.

It’s a zero effort product with cheap core ingredients.
Not being mean but it’s not a premium and there’s no wow in a supermarket biscuit dipped in chocolate
Whats to stop potential clients thinking that’s cute and replicating at home, bypassing your product

They are lovely but you are just dipping a shop bought biscuit in chocolate and I would probably make them myself rather than buy them.

Really? £5 for three supermarket biscuit dipped in chocolate
You could do it yourself

Would you buy these?

NO! Sorry, I wouldn't even want them if free. The wording is off centre, what chocolate is being used and that colour is vile! I know you said you can do other colours, but I wouldn't pay for something I could do better myself. If I was looking for a favour and didn't have time to do them myself, then I wouldn't be looking for biscuits dipped in chocolate, sorry.

Sorry -they don’t appeal at all.

I wouldn’t buy them.

I'm confused - are those a picture of what you actually made? You said that you made them for your daughter's birthday but they are for a wedding (or bridal shower) based on the decorations (at least in two of the three pictures).

Either way, no, I would not pay much for those. As others have said - you just dipped fairly cheap cookies in ugly looking chocolate.

I think they look pretty good and definitely better than anything I could do myself! Good luck OP 🙂

Fine for family and friends parties etc but no, I don’t think there’s money in selling them sorry.

OP as others have said you can’t just sell food. There are food standards, hygiene, insurance etc that you have to set up. Please don’t take this risk and if you are going to do it please do it properly.

No I wouldn’t buy grey shop bought biscuits

So you're not making the rice Krispies squares or the biscuits? If not I don't think you'll get people buying them if you're just buying some jammie Dodgers from Tesco and dipping them in white chocolate (which also doesn't sound like it would taste nice)

Once you’d taken into account kitchen inspections, getting the right permits, marketing etc you wouldn’t make any money from this.

I wouldn't. I'd put something off the shelf from the supermarket in the bags. I certainly wouldn't pay enough to make it worth your while, but I don't see the point of handmade birthday cakes either.

I understand why they need to cost what they do, but I don't understand why people are prepared to pay it for a kids' birthday cake, and obviously others do.
