Q&A: How can I sell my delicious hot chocolate recipe?

Notes from Chris

Episode 1922

Today’s caller wants to sell her delicious and nutritious hot chocolate!

Sounds great, right?

But there’s a twist. She doesn’t want to create a big company—instead, she’d love to sell the recipe.

Is this a feasible goal? What does she need to know and do next?

"Hi, this is Mary from Louisville, Kentucky. And I've been listening to the show for a few months now. I really enjoy hearing all the different creative ways others have started to side hustle for themselves. My question is about large scale production of a food product. I'm a registered dietitian in my day job. I also really enjoy warm drinks, including hot chocolate for personal use. I have developed an instant hot chocolate mix out of ingredients that are more nutritious than what is sold in the typical store-bought mixes from working with my clients. I think others would like this product as well. However, I'm not really interested in the time and effort it would take to produce this on a large scale myself. I'm wondering, is selling this recipe to a larger company a viable option? And if so, how can I get in contact with the right person."
