Then I had basic components for making chocolates. I made sugar syrup and put some dry fruits and the main part of cocoa powder. And compound in the fancy mould and wrapped it in a fancy cover.

Less investment high profit chocolate making Business,
Let’s discuss this business idea of choco history. The Chocolate history began 4000 years back in ancient Mesoamerica present day we call Mexico, earlier civilization Latin America. They used to drink chocolate during rituals and used it as medicine.
During the 15th century Aztecs used cocoa beans as currency. They believed chocolate was a gift from God so it was like wisdom for them in Mayan’s culture
How Day passed, years passed all over world trend has changed and some well known chocolate industry has formed in this world like snikers, Mars, Cadbury , Nestle products. All these company have been ruling all over the world in the chocolate industry.

Customers began to ask new variety of tastes. from this requirements made platform to homemade chocolate production.
Believe me, now days people prefers customized chocolates which make feel them uniqueness.
Some enthusiastic crazy people like me they converts hobby to business and earns lot money.
After I started the business I got realised very badly, that I am totally gone mad to make chocolates. So, I decided to wrap them in attractive packets and sell.
5)How many types of the recipe have you invented?
In the beginning, I have done basic chocolate making course in Pune city. I got an idea that how to use compound chocolate. And to make various type of chocolate with a yummy taste. But somewhere I didn’t satisfied with this limited knowledge:). So, I started to approach people who have good advanced knowledge about Professional looking Chocolate yes you heard right! professional Chocolate.
After all my efforts, I have met few people who got enough knowledge about chocolate. They advised me ” If you have to make some own creation then focus totally on basics and science behind the taste, you will get automatically the answer ” “Try with new things, new ingredients it’s all about Harmony between your taste and your soul, try with cocoa beans ” That’s all that the last statement made my eyes open towards the new world of chocolate. After all uncertain attempts, I have made some new varieties of bars from that day started off my business journey.
Apart of common 20 to 30 recepies I have invented 12 more chocolate recepies
Which if anyone interested I will teach through online classes.
But I would strongly recommend those who are really excited or interested, don’t do business if you thinking only you want to earn money, don’t set moto to earn only money instead of giving satisfaction, creativity to the customers.
Then this filed is not yours.
