I'd love to hear your opinion on offering samples.

 

samples really help sell but I agree that full size is expensive

 

these are a good sample size but just about impossible to polish. https://www.bakedeco.com/detail.asp?id=67773&categoryid=347

 

I've also seen people give samples of just the ganache (no shell) on a mini tasting spoon

 

you don't need to have samples of everything - for NW chocolate fest I brought 18 flavors of bonbons but only made sample size of 4

 

if you're letting people build their own assortments, consider a small display case - you can keep say 8 of each flavor out and re-stock from your larger bins as needed  https://www.webstaurantstore.com/choice-3-tray-bakery-display-case-with-rear-doors-21-x-17-3-4-x-16-1-2/176BDC3.html
