After 5 months of experiments, several questions to this forum, and many messy kitchens, my girls have opened a chocolate company. Thanks to all those who helped.

Very nice 
How did it get started? Was it a school driven project? The girls decided they wanted to do this?

The seven girls are close friends, 9-11 years old. They started making chocolate bars for gifts. Their dream is to buy an old farm (yes, with horses), convert it to a Chocolate Factory for children, which will make dark chocolate from the bean. Currently they temper dark chocolate, and have come up with their own 65% blend. They hope to be selling at our local Farmer’s Market this Spring. It’s really for fun and the education.
Cheers.

Really cool to see that kids can have fun and learn the important stuff of chocolate and business at the same time![:)]

I think I know what they’ll be doing as adults. Or at least, I hope [;)]

Domenico,
Thanks for the nice question. But no, the goal this year is for the girl’s to sell at the local farmer’s market in Davis, California. They did have one box travel to Australia (an aunt), which was a thrill. But the company will stay small and hand crafted, because it is first-and-foremost about educating the 7 girls and giving them confidence.
Cheers,
GP

Gerrypez,
Thanks for the reply, I understand the point. Sometimes I even think that globality should not necessarily mean that all local specialities be available everywhere (a bit ‘unnatural’ like eating a fruit or vegetable that is locally out of season).
However on the other hand I regret it, as I would have tried YummyDummy chocolates in one of our chocolate shops we supply in Budapest. Just for fun, in a small scale. If you drop me a mail I might also ask some additional info about the Company for a short journal article.
