Congrats! My first bit of advice is that licensing and packaging (listing of ingredients) requirements are typically governed locally, and the rules can vary widely from place to place. You should check your local cottage food law, and with your local Department of Health and Chamber of Commerce, to understand the requirements in your area. Where you can sell (i.e., online, out of state, etc.) may very well be governed by local food law and how/where you are producing your product. So, again, the same sources should be able to guide you on those points.
