Web chocoholics love to take candy from these babies: Elise and Evan Macmillan

Flitting around her kitchen in a chef's hat, Elise Macmillan, 12, is as happy as Pigs in Mud—the name of one of her specialties, marshmallows covered with chocolate, pecans and caramel. "It's fun," she says, "making chocolate."

Profitable too. With her two-year-old e-biz, the Chocolate Farm (chocolatefarm.com, the Denver sixth-grader is building a sweet nest egg for college. Her company isn't kid stuff: Macmillan is licensed, rents her workspace and employs 14-year-old brother Evan, who designed the Web site. Her animal-theme creations ($15 for a 10-item sampler) "are all original," boasts Evan.

Parents Stuart and Kathleen, both business execs, don't interfere, but Elise has already tasted one side effect of success: "Once I started the company," she says, "my liking for chocolate sort of went down."

Break it to Mr. Great Personality gently but directly. Try a simple it's been fun, but you're just not my type."
