The equipment sat unused in Brown's basement for more than a year while Brown, desperate to own her own business, started an appetizer catering company, Platters, in 1984. Brown dusted off the chocolate-making equipment and, to finish off the event, made mints and small chocolate bars with MichCon wrappers. The treats were such a hit that Brown stopped catering and turned her attention to chocolate making. Brown begins making her confections by getting 10-pound chocolate slabs from a chocolate manufacturer and melting them in a tempering machine. Brown then pours the chocolate in customized molds and lets it harden in a special freezer.
Chocolates are that nice extra that complete events.
Most people love chocolate, and it's a nice, sweet way to end a successful event.
