That is why I based my business around the same concept.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Chocolate makes me happy, and I want to share that happiness with others.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Shannon creates handmade boxes of chocolates with an &#8216;explosion&#8217; effect. As the lid is lifted,&nbsp;the box separates into different sections or layers filled with confectionary, similar to Russian nested dolls.<\/p>\n<p>Shannon has created her business intended to spread her concept in time for Christmas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>She said: &#8220;Once made, I will package them with gift wrap and ribbon, then it can be sold as a unique one-off gift.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If a person is on a budget I will definitely take that in mind&nbsp;and do my best possible to accommodate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Shannon is still developing her business during this second lockdown.<\/p>\n<p>She said: &#8220;There will be plenty of variety,&nbsp;&nbsp;I also plan on creating, entirely retro American sweets, as well as care packages made to order for both children and adults.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The child packages, shall include their choice of confectionary followed by a colouring book, or reading book to develop learning. Adult care packages, may include things targeted at self-care (bath bombs, perfumes, face masks). Including the gift wrap and ribbon for decoration and uniqueness.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 19-year-old&nbsp;part-time&nbsp;waitress put on furlough from her waitressing job has started up her own business venture.
