Choose individually portioned mini bars when each attendee needs one item: Montezuma's Sea Dog pack contains 26 × 25g bars, although its allergen statement rules out treating it as a default for everyone. Full-bar bundles suit planned sharing or a small tasting, while a selection box suits a shared break only after you have checked its portions and the current label against attendees' needs.
A counted mini-bar pack lets you plan against the attendee list without cutting a shared bar. Montezuma's lists 26 individual 25g bars in its Sea Dog pack; check that one bar per person is the portion you intend to serve.
Start with attendees' requirements and the label on the exact pack. Montezuma's Sea Dog bars contain soya and may contain milk, nuts and peanuts; M&S gives additional allergy restrictions for its Dark Chocolate Selection.
Divine's seven-bar bundle offers different dark-chocolate recipes, while M&S offers a selection of filled chocolates. Either format needs a serving plan and a check of each product's allergen information.
Set the attendee count and serving plan first, then check flavours, allergens and delivery against the meeting arrangements.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Portions | Compare the number of separate items with the attendee count. Montezuma's lists 26 × 25g mini bars; Divine lists seven bars and Green & Black's lists a box of 15 × 90g bars. | I want to hand out one item each without breaking up full-size bars, or I can plan a shared tasting instead. |
| Flavour | Check whether the pack contains one recipe or several. Sea Dog is lime and sea salt; Divine's bundle includes recipes with fruit, mint, salt and hazelnut truffle. | A single flavour needs to suit the group, whereas a tasting break can make use of different recipes. |
| Allergens | Read the current ingredients, allergen statements and precautionary warnings on the exact pack. Do not treat a dark-chocolate or vegan description as an allergy assessment. | I need colleagues with declared restrictions to be able to check what is being served before they take a piece. |
| Delivery | Check the retailer's current delivery window against the meeting date. Montezuma's says it holds orders when temperatures exceed 25°C. | If the date is fixed, I need enough time for a possible dispatch hold rather than relying on arrival at the last minute. |
Dark-chocolate products can contain allergens or carry precautionary warnings. Montezuma's Sea Dog bars contain soya and may contain milk, nuts and peanuts; M&S lists restrictions for its Dark Chocolate Selection.
Ask about relevant restrictions where appropriate, check the exact pack received and keep its packaging available while serving.
A pack of mini bars, a seven-bar bundle and a box of 15 full-size bars require different serving plans.
Count attendees and decide whether you intend to hand out whole items, divide bars deliberately or offer a shared selection before choosing the format.
Delivery timing may not match the meeting date. Montezuma's says it can hold orders when temperatures exceed 25°C.
Check current dispatch and delivery information before ordering, and allow time between the expected arrival and the meeting.
A uniform full-bar option: Green & Black's lists a box of 15 Organic Dark 70% 90g bars.
Its Dark Chocolate Lover's Bundle contains seven dark-chocolate recipes for a small tasting-style meeting.

A boxed assortment for sharing at a meeting, rather than a stated one-bar-per-person pack. Confirm the number of pieces and whether they are individually wrapped if portions need to be allocated. The product information lists almonds, hazelnuts, eggs and milk, and says it may contain peanuts, other tree nuts and soya; check the label on the pack received.
A counted mini-bar pack avoids dividing full-size bars. Montezuma's Sea Dog pack contains 26 × 25g bars, so compare that count with attendance and check its allergen statement before serving.
No. Montezuma's labels its Sea Dog mini bars vegan but states that they contain soya and may contain traces of milk, nuts and peanuts. Check the current pack against each relevant restriction.
Check attendees' requirements before choosing a filled selection. M&S marks its Dark Chocolate Selection unsuitable for coeliacs and people with several allergies; another product would still require its own label check.
Check the selected retailer's current delivery window and leave time before the meeting. Montezuma's says temperatures above 25°C can cause it to hold orders, so an expected dispatch date may change in warm weather.
Yes, keeping it available lets attendees check the ingredient and allergen information for the product being served. M&S advises reading the product label rather than relying solely on its online information.
