How much would you pay for a basket/platter of holiday treats?!
I'm bouncing around the idea in my head of making and selling baked holiday treats for some extra cash around the holiday season!. I don't really know how I'd go about getting clients- but that's further down the road!. I need to figure out if it would be worth it to buy the supplies- if the amount I would sell them for would offset the cost of the supplies and be worth the time in the kitchen (although I love baking, so I don't think I'd mind the time in the kitchen)!.
In the baskets/platters I'd put
An assortment of cookies
Amish Sugar Cookies
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Gingerbread Cookies
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Drop Cookies
!.!.!.etc!.!.!.
Peanut Brittle/Almond Brittle
Rice Krispy Treats
Stuffed Dates
Reindeer Noses (small pretzels with a Hershey Kiss and M&M on top)
Peanut Chews
!.!.!.and other holiday treats!.
So, my question is, would you purchase something like this to give out as a gift or to have for yourself!? If yes, how much would you pay for a small assortment, medium assortment, large assortmet!. And what would you consider a small, medium, and large assortment!.
I would package them nicely with a holiday theme (Christmas, Hanukka, Kwanza, whatever your choice)!. I would also be open to the idea of shipping them as gifts!.
I'm also consider offering an assortment of pies!. Peanut Butter Pie, Apple Crumb Pie, Pumpkin Pie, etc!.
Any advice/insight you could offer would be great!

You need to find out the cost of all your supplies per basket first and then maybe say add $20 to $30 dollars per basket above the cost!. I would sell locally to friends and family first then branch out!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
