I think I've solved the problem of the jumbly-tumbly truffles in the box -- make them larger! I originally scaled the size down because I thought they wouldn't fit. Instead, they slide around in the box. Obviously my thinking was, um, wrong.
They just need to be a little bit larger, and it won't have a big impact on my bottom line. And, hey, bigger truffles. We are, after all, Americans. We like our treats to be hefty. (Note the mega-marshmallows, right.)
I'm waiting to hear back from a chocolate supplier about a) setting up an account, and b) what they charge for shipping. I almost ordered 50 pounds of Callebaut milk and bittersweet from them, but their shopping cart just said that "shipping will be added to your order." Well, they aren't getting my order until I know how outrageous the shipping charges are -- kind of a Catch-22 there, retail-business-wise.
Thanks to popular demand, a third sale will be announced soon. I haven't decided what form it'll take yet -- more Seven Deadly Sins, or something completely. Or perhaps a "choose four flavors" option. I have to hunker down and figure out just how much we can handle here at Polidori Mansion.
