Everybody knows a candy lady. Chocolate-covered strawberries for Valentine's, fudge for the holidays, candy bouquets for graduations, party favors for every birthday on the block. Candy is one of the lowest-startup food businesses there is, and demand spikes around every event.

Chefry gives you a real storefront for your treats, with photos, prices, and online checkout, so buyers stop sliding into your DMs and start placing actual orders. You keep the full price on every order, and you get paid daily for completed ones.

Real customer discovery

A marketplace and native app put you in front of local buyers actively looking for home cooks, not just the followers you already have.

Daily payouts

Money for completed orders pays out daily, escrow-backed, with instant-to-debit options. No two-week waits.

Is it legal to sell candy from home?

Usually, yes. Most shelf-stable candies and chocolates, like fudge, toffee, hard candy, and chocolate-covered pretzels, are cottage foods you can sell from a home kitchen in most states with little or no permit, just proper labeling. Items that need refrigeration, such as some cream fillings or fresh-fruit-dipped treats that must stay cold, can be treated differently; many sellers offer those for prompt local pickup. Confirm your state's cottage food list and labeling rules. Chefry publishes state-by-state guides.

Packaging and the summer melt problem

Chocolate hates heat, so plan local pickup and cooler packs for warm months, and use gift boxes and clear labels for ingredients and allergens. Fresh-dipped strawberries are best for same-day pickup. Chefry handles the order and timing so you can pack and go.

Frequently asked questions

Is selling candy from home legal?

In most states, yes. Shelf-stable candies and chocolates like fudge, toffee, and chocolate-covered pretzels are cottage foods you can sell from a home kitchen with little or no permit, just labeling. Fresh-dipped or refrigerated items can have different rules, so many sellers offer those for quick local pickup. Check your state cottage food program.

Can I sell chocolate-covered strawberries?

Yes. Because fresh-dipped strawberries can need refrigeration, most sellers offer them for same-day local pickup rather than shipping. You list them on your Chefry storefront with a pickup window, the customer pays online, and you hand them off fresh.

What candy sells best?

Chocolate-covered strawberries and pretzels, fudge, cake pops, candy bouquets, and custom party favors are consistent sellers, with big spikes around Valentine’s Day, graduations, and the winter holidays. Limited holiday drops let you make to order.

How much should I charge for candy?

Home candy makers commonly charge $20 to $45 per dozen for chocolate-covered strawberries, $8 to $15 per half pound of fudge, and $15 to $40 for treat boxes, with a premium for custom colors and themes. Price for your ingredients and decorating time.

How much does it cost to sell candy on Chefry?

Chefry is free to list with no monthly fee, and candy and menu orders are 0% commission to you (a 5% customer-paid service fee and standard Stripe processing of 2.9% + 30 cents apply). The first 100 chefs pay 0% on everything for their first year.
