Chocolography photo candy ... chocolate business cards?

Does anyone but me see the flaw in a chocolate business card?

Cute idea, but once eaten ... well, who ya gonna call?

Anyway, a local candy shop offers this service which like those cakes where you can get a photo duplicated on top ... does the same with chocolate.

Two questions here ...

1. How's the chocolate itself. Is it decent or the waxy type?

In addition to lollipops and chocolate bars they offer Belgium truffles ... any good?

2. Can this be done on any chocolate or only those from the mother company?

It would be kind of cool if I could provide some artisan chocolate bars or truffles and personalize them. I realize I can ask the chocolate store but I want to go in armed with some backup ... "I have heard I can supply my own chocolates" .

  1. I didn't think the chocolate for the lollies was very good. Far too sweet and grainy for me. The term "Belgian chocolate" means nothing to me ... there's good stuff from Belgium, but some of the worst chocolate I've ever had was made in Belgium.

    1. Wow what a great idea!!!
      The only problem is that you lose the information as you eat the card - so you can add standart business cards to the candy. If you are looking for a place to order business cards you can go to http://www.dcp-print.com. They have very nice designs and you can order free cards too.

      1. I had business cards like these created for my business at www.YourPhotoOnChocolate.com. The chocolate is a decent basic chocolate with a hear frosting of sugar to give it a white print area. But customers and prospects love them! It really is creative and different and helps me stand out from the competition. They do eat them, but I put a paper card in the back of the case and it works great.

        I also use their Signature Center Box as a gift to my best customers at year end.

        1. Found two other companies that do chocolate business cards. I don't know why you would want them...they melt!
