Who is each format for?

Hosts handing out one treat per hunter

A stated bar count makes it easier to plan how many treats to buy. Waitrose & Partners lists the Cadbury Fudge multipack as four 22g bars; check the pack for individual wrapping before using them as sealed prizes.

Hosts serving fudge after the hunt

A sharing pack can be portioned once everyone has gathered. Waitrose & Partners lists its 150g clotted-cream fudge as approximately six servings, rather than specifying individually wrapped pieces.

Hosts catering for young children or allergies

Check each product’s allergen declaration and age warning before handing it out. Marks & Spencer warns that its clotted-cream fudge is not suitable for children under 36 months because of a potential choking hazard; the NHS advises seated, supervised eating for young children.

What should you check before choosing?

Decide whether fudge will be handed out during the hunt or served afterwards, then check the exact pack against your group.

Priority What to check Your needs
Treat count Compare the stated bar count with the number of hunters. Confirm individual wrapping separately; a total weight does not give a bar count. I want one treat for each hunter without dividing a sharing pack during the activity. Waitrose & Partners lists four 22g bars in the Cadbury pack, while Tesco lists a 202g treat-size pack without a bar count in its search result.
Allergens Read the current physical pack’s ingredients, allergen declaration and any may-contain statement. Check them against the allergies you have been told about. When I hand out treats, I need to know which product each person is receiving. Waitrose & Partners states that its clotted-cream fudge contains milk ingredients and may contain peanuts and nuts.
Young children Follow the exact product’s age warning. Consider the food’s size, shape and texture, and arrange for young children to eat seated and supervised, in line with NHS guidance. I would rather separate collecting treats from eating them. Marks & Spencer warns that its clotted-cream fudge is not suitable for children under 36 months because of a potential choking hazard.
Fudge style Check whether the product is a chocolate-covered bar or clotted-cream fudge, and whether its format suits handing out or portioning. For a treat served after the hunt, I may want traditional clotted-cream fudge. For prizes, I need to confirm that the bars I choose are individually wrapped.

Common buying mistakes

  • Assuming every fudge pack contains the same kind of treat

    Waitrose & Partners describes the Cadbury bars as chocolate-covered fudge and its own-label product as clotted-cream fudge. They call for different serving plans.

    Choose the style and format first, then check the pack’s unit count, wrapping and allergen declaration.

  • Using pack weight to count hunt prizes

    Tesco’s 202g treat-size listing does not establish how many bars are inside. Weight alone cannot tell you whether there is one for every hunter.

    Check the current pack for its bar count and individual wrapping before allocating prizes.

  • Judging allergens by the flavour name

    A name does not replace the product-specific declaration. Waitrose & Partners states that its clotted-cream fudge contains milk ingredients and may contain peanuts and nuts.

    Ask about allergies before the event, read each physical pack and keep its packaging available while treats are served.

  • Letting young children eat while searching

    The NHS advises that young children eat seated upright and supervised, with the food’s size, shape and texture considered. Marks & Spencer also gives its clotted-cream fudge an under-36-month choking warning.

    Collect treats during the hunt and arrange a separate, supervised time to eat them; follow the warning on the exact product.

Questions about fudge for an egg hunt

Can I hide pieces from a traditional fudge sharing pack as individual prizes?

Choose a pack that confirms individually wrapped pieces if you need sealed prizes. Waitrose & Partners lists its 150g clotted-cream fudge as approximately six servings, but does not establish individual wrapping; it can instead be portioned after the hunt.

Does a fudge flavour name tell me whether it contains nuts?

Should young children eat fudge while searching for eggs?

Keep collecting and eating separate for young children. The NHS advises seated, upright and supervised eating and considering food size, shape and texture; Marks & Spencer warns that its clotted-cream fudge is not suitable for children under 36 months because of a potential choking hazard.

Is an online allergen listing enough before handing out fudge?

Check the physical pack of the exact product before distribution. Use its current ingredient and allergen declaration, including any may-contain statement, when deciding what to offer participants with allergies.
