It's been a long winter

I've been gone for a while and it is time to come out of the cocoon and catch up. We have been up to our ears in Dove Chocolate. The business is really starting to take off and we may even turn a profit this month. YEA. When you have a home-based direct sales business it can be a lot of work with little reward. Fortunately I found Dove Chocolate Discoveries, selling Chocolate in the Home Party environment and it has been a hoot. What can be more fun that taking chocolate to someones home, giving them Chocolate Martinis, Candy and Brownies and showing them how much better premium chocolate is over the every day run of the mill chocolate.

Last night the hostesses dog was so facinated by the process she sat at the Chocolatier's feet and stared at her the entire party. I know she just wanted her to drop chocolate but she never did. Jazzy never gave up however and by the end of the evening she was the hit of the party. You never know what will add a dimension to a sales pitch. The party turned out great and ended a Snowy Month of February into a success.

The night before one of the husband's at the party was the only one who knew exactly how to temper chocolate. He was really into the products and added another dimension to the party. We really love it when the guys show up. Did you know that men buy more chocolate each year than women. They just keep it quiet and you don't realize it is there. My Dad used to hide his chocolate under the mattress. Of course all of us kids knew where it was and always found it and ate it. I think back and believe it was a game he enjoyed playing with us, but at the time we thought we were really sneaky.

If anyone is looking for a great way to supplement their income, have fun and eat chocolate you need to contact me to find out about Dove's program. My email for the business is sweetrewards@daytonchocolatiers.com or check our the website at www.dove-chocolate-discoveries.com/daytonchocolatiers.

Enough of this prothetizing, let's move into spring and shake off this snowy winter and look for those first crocuses poking out of the ground.
