For a consistent hotel-room offering, choose a format you can allocate and present as intended: a full 90 g bar is a different proposition from a few chocolate fingers. Hotel Chocolat’s 15-finger baton pack offers a countable tea accompaniment, but check whether the fingers are separately wrapped before placing them in unattended rooms. Larger truffle or button packs make more sense for shared or attended service unless their packaging supports your planned room portions.
The serving location changes the useful pack format: an unattended bedroom calls for a different allocation plan from an attended lounge.
Choose a portion that staff can allocate consistently, then check the exact product’s packaging and allergen information before it goes into rooms. A pack containing several pieces does not, by itself, establish that each piece is sealed for individual placement.
Hotel Chocolat’s 70% Dark Chocolate Batons contain 15 fingers, giving staff a countable format. Decide how many fingers belong with each tea service and confirm the delivered packaging before using them in unattended rooms.
If staff serve or replenish chocolate during tea service, a larger truffle pack or bite-sized button bag may suit that arrangement better than assigning a full bar to every bedroom. Check how pieces will be handled and how guests can access product information.
Decide whether the chocolate is for individual rooms or shared service before comparing pack counts. Then check the exact product’s portion format, cocoa description, allergen declaration and storage instructions.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Portion format | Compare pieces per pack with full bars and bulk weight. Hotel Chocolat lists 15 baton fingers; Divine lists 90 g bars in a case of 15; Lindt lists a 1 kg LINDOR truffle pack. Confirm individual wrapping and the planned allocation separately. | I need staff to place a consistent amount in each room, rather than assume that every multi-piece pack contains ready-to-place portions. |
| Cocoa level | Read the cocoa description on the exact product. Hotel Chocolat batons and Divine bars are labelled 70%; Montezuma’s Absolute Black buttons are labelled 100% cocoa. | For a general tea offering, I want to know how intense the chosen dark chocolate is. I would make a deliberate choice before offering Montezuma’s 100% cocoa buttons to guests. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the current pack’s ingredients and precautionary statements, including any milk, soya, gluten, nut or peanut information. Do not use a vegan description as a substitute for those checks. | Guests and staff need access to the information for the product actually served, particularly when a guest asks about an ingredient or allergen. |
| Room storage | Follow the exact pack’s storage instructions and consider where the chocolate will sit in the room. Joybuy’s Divine 70% Dark Chocolate Mint listing, for example, specifies a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; check other products’ labels individually. | I need a placement spot that fits the chosen pack’s instructions, rather than assuming the same storage wording applies to every chocolate. |
A count of 15 fingers or a bulk pack weight tells you how the product is sold, not whether each piece is sealed for an unattended guest room.
Inspect an image or sample of the delivered pack. Check the wrapping, outer-pack condition, piece count and number of pieces you intend to place in each room.
Divine’s 70% bar carries a precautionary statement for gluten, milk and nuts; Montezuma’s Absolute Black buttons may contain traces of milk, nuts and peanuts. A vegan description does not replace those product-specific statements.
Check the current ingredients and allergen information for the exact item ordered, and make that information available to staff and guests.
A 100% cocoa button and a 70% baton present different flavour choices, while percentage alone says nothing about wrapping or the number of room portions.
Choose the cocoa level intentionally, then check the pack format and serving plan. Montezuma’s describes its Absolute Black 100% Cocoa buttons as intense, so label that choice clearly if offering it.
These examples illustrate formats to compare, not a list of interchangeable room-ready portions. Check the exact variant before ordering.

The 200 g box of dark-chocolate truffles is an option to consider for shared tea service. The listing labels it 70% cocoa, but the number of truffles and their individual wrapping need checking before room-by-room allocation. Its description lists barley, milk and soya and says it may contain several nuts; check the current pack before serving.
No. Check the exact product’s ingredients and precautionary allergen statement. Lindt LINDOR Dark 70% lists milk and soya ingredients and may contain hazelnuts and other nuts; Divine’s 70% bar may contain gluten, milk and nuts. Montezuma’s Absolute Black buttons are described as vegan but may contain traces of milk, nuts and peanuts.
Only after you have confirmed how the pieces are packed and how many portions the delivered product provides. Lindt’s 1 kg LINDOR Dark 70% listing establishes the pack weight, not a one-per-room plan. A shared or attended service avoids relying on an assumed individual-room format.
The Hotel Chocolat product page identifies a pack of 15 fingers, which makes allocation countable. Check the delivered pack for individual wrapping and decide how many fingers each room should receive before using them as unattended room treats.
Follow the instruction on the exact product being served. Joybuy’s Divine 70% Dark Chocolate Mint listing specifies a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; check the chosen chocolate’s own label rather than applying that wording to every pack.
