Hello!

I have a client that placed an order for 750 chocolate covered oreos individually wrapped and 750 chocolate covered pretzel rods individually wrapped. Now I paid a total of $713.76 for all of the ingredients : oreos, pretzels, molds, chocolate, paramount crystals cellophane bags. Ironically I bought enough oreos to make 750 and same with pretzel rods. Now, it took me about 56 hours total to make these, it's just me. 

I used a template calculator and it gave a very high charge and I am second guessing. The total read $2875.19  

Now, does that sound right ? What would you charge for a large order like such .

Thanks , I'm just a bit overwhelmed as I am doing this order in between my regular job with no help.

or you could so the $713.76 plus $560 equals about $1300 then tack on at least $2 each for $4300 --

the $560 gives you ten bucks an hour at least!
