Check with your state or local Board of Health to be sure, but most localities have very firm laws in place that prohibit commercial food items from being prepared in a home kitchen. Also, keep in mind you'll need to keep accurate financial records and submit tax documents for any income you make. You probably won’t be able to do this, at least not legally.
