Door-to-door sales (especially for younger children) are either: a) frowned upon/banned; or b) less successful (because many more parents aren't supporting), so I think you'd do best to try and hook around some public events.

This is a good idea for lots of reasons because people are more apt to make an impulse purchase at an event and your selling where there’s already a large captive audience. It’s always best to request permission well in advance because other groups will want to do the same thing. Here are some candy bar fundraiser product ideas you may want to check out.
