health laws on making chocolates at home?

Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, & Techniques

i asked this in the kitchen confectionary group but no one has answered- i thought more people would see it here and someone might knowi want to start a chocolate business at home and wondered if there are any laws around doing so, as with other food businesses...i have NO clue and cannot find any information at all....i thought maybe some of you, here, would know or know where i can find out....any input would be appreciatedthanks!

i forgot to add....they also have these dark chocolate pistachio toffee- type clusters that are REALLY good too...i thought they might be too sweet for our taste but we love them....they are very nice to serve with a good chai or black tea or really good coffee for guests...also addictive...can't remember the name of them but maybe pistachio crunch or something like that...if you look for them tho you will find them in the little clear plastic tubs-like the almonds....worth searching for!!

i am looking at the package on the pound plus bar right now and it says " pound plus chocolate bars are imported direct from belgium. they are made exclusively for trader joe's in a small town outside antwerp by confectionary artisans known for producing perhaps the finest chocolate in the world. "that's it!

we buy the large bars...i think they are about a pound and a half- whenever we are near a trader joe's...the extra dark and for eating daily they are not bad....it is not the quality i want to make eventually and sell- and i agree it is not as smooth as i usually like... but for the common everyday chocolate 'fix' it works for me! and the price is right for a low budget at like 3.99 a bar!
