Co-Manufacturing
Davis Chocolate helps you create or use your recipe(s). We can offer bars, chips, pb cups, truffles and offer a few other options. We have some molds or have a custom mold made from some suppliers we know.
How it Works
First select one of our favorite Davis Chocolate recipes or work with our chocolatier to develop a signature recipe of your own or provide your own.
Davis Chocolate is an all-in-one facility which reduces the cost and time by outsourcing manufacturing and making distribution more efficient. We work with you to provide just-in-time delivery of your products, alleviating burdensome overhead costs and streamlining your logistics.
Here are a few ways we serve clients with our state-of-the-art facility:
- We review with you the ingredients you want to use
- Molds will be reviewed and possibly created by a supplier unless you are doing chips or French truffle.
- We bring in the ingredients to blend, grind, deposit and package your product.

R&D AND CHOOSING YOUR PRODUCTION OPTIONS
R&D is $300 an hour with a two hour minimum. You will get three 100 gram samples. If you like one of those samples then we would make up a little larger sample in the lab or go to production.
The first option for production is pay by the day and this cost is us charging you just for labor. This doesn’t include ingredients, packaging or shipping. What we do is price out what production will cost based on what we are doing for you. If it’s chips we don’t need as many people and if we are doing bars we need more people. The minimum production time is one day and then we charge you for the 2nd day would be the clean up day. For example if the Cost is $8,000 for one day (8 hours). The total cost would be $16,000 because we charge you for the cleanup day.
The 2nd option for production is meeting our MOQ (minimum order quantity) of 10,000 pounds. The difference between pay by the day and meeting our MOQ is price. We will price out the product per piece or per pound. For the pay by the day we output what we can and then you will know what your cost per piece or pound will be.
Production is capable of producing as much as a 1,000 tons of chocolate a year, we will help streamline one or all of the steps in your chocolate making process. Please contact us for more information.
