A. You temper your chocolate or melt your chocolate and put it in a mould that you can find at craft stores. You could also use soap moulds as well. Good Luck.

What are some creative ways of selling fundraiser chocolates?
Q. So I need to sell some chocolate to help the wildlife conservation fund. The more chocolates I sell, the more chance I have on going on a camp. I have 3 school days and a weekend to exhaust 40 chocolates. Of course, there are obvious ways of handling this such as... *Walking around school begging people *Selling them to my family *Door knocking *Paying for them myself ...but I feel like this is just not enough. I need a new, creative way of selling them. Any ideas?
Asked by Super Chick - Tue Mar 3 02:59:57 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Don't know where to sell them, but some advice. When people come to our house and say they are selling something for charity (reputable) we will buy from them. When they say "we are selling for charity so we can go to (Lake Tahoe, Hawaii, Florida, etc)" we DON'T buy from them. Real people who care about charity do it to help people, not b/c they get something in return. So don't tell people you are doing it for a camp trip. It makes you seem selfish. (not saying you are by any means, but for people like me, I would give you money just for helping more than helping to get something for yourself)

Or stand outside somewhere there's a lot of friendly people ... the post office maybe, or the library. If there's a soccer field in your neighborhood, try selling there while a game's going on.
