The percentage of revenue you can expect is entirely dependent on how aggressively you market and promote it. If you don't market and promote (or do so poorly) then you won't get much in the way of sales.

SomeSayCocoa commented on Susie's blog post Citrus Peel and Experiments"Hi Susie,
I've only candied oranges successfully but not for large scale. I like the freshness of small batches but they do not hold their presentation well. Once rolled in sugar they really need to be used within a week. But the taste is soooo…"
Susie posted a blog postCitrus Peel and Experiments
All winter long I've been experimenting with different ways to candy orange peel, mandarin peel, lemon slices including air drying them, dehydrating, rolling in sugar without candying.It seems like there is a big need for candied peel as well as candied ginger, and that most of what people use or what you can buy in the store is imported.I'll be taking pictures of my experiments but I'm curious for any who read this - would you have interest in great candied peel or candied citrus where you…See More

I'd also love someone with a real appreciation for the possibilities and subtleties of chocolate to match it. Most chocolate dipped oranges use remarkably poor chocolate - especially for the labor involved in candying and presenting orange peel. Go for it ... and let me know when you want local testers/customers.

Did you ever have the chance to try Cocolat's "Chocolate Amber" truffle? TO DIE FOR! A hard chocolate shell filled with "liquid amber" caramel and covered with toasted nuts. (I can't remember what kind of nuts.) My differentiator is to make a truffle without a shell, otherwise I'd be all-over reproducing that one.

Jeff Stern said… - Hi Susie:
I saw your posting recently and was reading up about foodzie. I live in Ecuador and am working on launching a US brand in the near future, which might be something that would go well with foodzie. You can see it at www.aequarechocolates.com. I´ll be opening a web store online for both wholesale and retail sales in the next month or two. Email me if you are interested in learning more at jstern@aequarechocolates.com.
Best regards,
Jeff
