The Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) was founded in 1997. It has since become the nation's leading advocate of women-owned businesses as suppliers to America's corporations. It also is the largest third-party certifier of businesses owned and operated by women in the United States. WBENC works to foster diversity in the world of commerce with programs and policies designed to expand opportunities and eliminate barriers in the marketplace for women business owners. Verve, inc. is proud to be a WBENC-certified woman-owned business.
Gum base is very, very sticky when mixed with corn syrup. We provide you with a disposable pan because of this. DO NOT USE ANY OF YOUR OWN PANS OR UTENSILS! Gum base is very difficult to remove. We recommend melted butter to dissolve the corn syrup. You can also try commercial products like Goo-Gone or Citra-Solv.
Verve's Make Your Own Chocolate Kit can be a terrific, interactive classroom activity for a wide range of ages and class sizes. We provide a sample lesson plan intended for grades 5 – 8, but the kit may be used with children from age 5 up, with adult supervision. It has also been used to great effect with high school home economics classes as a fun end-of-term project.
