tips for selling fudge?

Question

Hi! I want to sell fudge as gifts this holiday season. Any fudge making tips, which flavors are best, wrapping ideas, etc. are welcome! Thanx

Answer 1

Make fudge w/ peanut butter & another w/ white chocolate (YUM!), use cellophane wrap in pretty Christmas colors & hold it together w/ ribbons. Oh yeah, a cute kid will help sell anything!

Answer 2

1. Clear Cellophane is alway a good wrapping. Tie it with that ribbon you use on Christmas Presenrts.

2. Have With Nuts and Without Nuts

3. Include a gift card (maybe it could say something cute like, Fudge: Apply directly to your hips)

Answer 3

I gag at the sight of those big slabs in plastic wrap, but got a smallish stick, slightly larger than a roll of Life Savers and square, and liked that. The big slabs are too much.

It was wrapped similarly to Life Savers, too (exterior printed paper over foil, etc); that also worked well.

Just please not the big slabs in clear wrap. Yecch. Not an attractive food presentation, to say the least. If you want to sell big slabs, and want to show off the fudge itself, use cardboard boxes with a cellophane 'window.'
