Thanks for this. I decided to sell these for Christmas and I was going through everything you had in this video last night. I got my packaging, (0.67 each), I was able to find my molds, (I ordered on Sat, it shipped yesterday, and I got them this morning (on Amazon). I can provide the link if anyone is interested (large mold) but it is a bit more expensive (16.99 for a 2 pack) cause you get a guaranteed 2 day turn around and it's on prime (it was hard to find one on prime but I found it cause I wasn't taking any chances) - everyone else says you will get it within a certain time but after looking at the reviews where others have said it's been over a month and they haven't gotten it, I thought to take extra precautions. Oh, I also bought a box of hot chocolate $20-24for 35 (variety pack) so that helps me with the 2 major things (if you need that link I could provide as well). Overall, Thank you again for this video. I am selling 6 different flavors this holiday (I have everything). 🙂🙂🙂

Scroll down til you get to "Compare with similar items" and click on that link. It will give you a few more options inclusive of a single prime option. That's what I got ($16.99). Hot Chocolate: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Y3YYKXZ/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Much like above, you can scroll down and go to "Compare with similar items" and choose any prime option that you like. The seller I bought the variety pack has since increased the price that I bought it for but you can choose any prime option (with the actual logo present and not just words cause that will lead to issues and delays) you like. Starting price for those are $23.91 (currently) Containers: (locally so, sorry no link).
