Choose a treat-size chocolate multipack when you need a defined pack count, a larger assortment for a shared refreshment table, or separate fudge boxes for gifts and table-by-table presentation. These formats are not interchangeable: confirm what the pack contains, how many units you need and the exact product’s current allergen information before ordering.
A multipack gives you a defined number of packs to allocate at a desk or meeting room. Waitrose lists the Cadbury Family Treatsize Chocolate Multipack as a 12-pack with approximately 12 portions; check its contents and current allergen label against your event requirements.
A larger assorted box allows guests to choose from several chocolates. M&S Food lists a 650 g Big Mix selection with 10 flavours, but a shared box does not establish how many guests it will serve. Keep the exact pack’s allergen information accessible during service.
Separate fudge boxes make more sense than one shared box when each recipient or table needs its own pack. The Candy Company lists assorted-fudge cases of 12 × 300 g and 24 × 150 g; check the exact variant’s ingredients and allergens before selecting it for attendees.
Decide how the confectionery will be handed out before comparing pack weights. Then check that the product description, quantity and label fit the event.
Choose when: You want to allocate packs rather than leave an open box for self-service.
Bear in mind: A mixed chocolate pack containing a fudge component is not a dedicated fudge gift box.
Choose when: Guests will select chocolates from a shared refreshment table.
Bear in mind: An assortment may contain several allergens and does not necessarily give you a fixed portion count.
Choose when: You need separate fudge boxes for thank-you gifts or individual tables.
Bear in mind: A case count tells you how many boxes you are buying, not whether the contents suit every recipient.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Distribution | Compare the number of packs or boxes with the attendee and table counts. Do not use net weight alone as a portion count. | I need to hand out a defined number of treats, or I need a box that guests can share. |
| Product type | Check whether the order is dedicated fudge, chocolates with a fudge centre, or a mixed multipack containing a fudge component. | If the invitation promises fudge, I want the product received to match that description. |
| Allergens | Read the current label for the exact variant, including ingredients and any suitability or cross-contact warnings. Keep the information available at service. | Attendees may need to identify ingredients or allergens before choosing a treat. |
| Pack quantities | Confirm whether a stated quantity means pieces, portions, individual boxes or boxes per case. Match it to the planned method of distribution. | For gifts, I need enough separate boxes; for a shared table, I need to plan the quantity without assuming a weight equals a guest count. |
| Storage and delivery | Check the exact pack’s storage instructions and that the order can arrive before it is needed. | I need somewhere suitable to hold the confectionery between delivery and service. |
A shared assortment, a multipack and a case of gift boxes distribute differently, even when their weights are stated. Weight does not tell you how many people can receive a separate pack.
Set the attendee or table quantity first, then check the number of individual packs, pieces or boxes in the format you intend to use.
M&S Food flags its 650 g Big Mix Chocolates as unsuitable for people with peanut or egg allergies. Its 300 g Milk, Dark and White Selection carries additional named suitability warnings. The warnings depend on the exact product.
Check each current pack label and plan an appropriate alternative where an attendee cannot have the selected product.
The Candy Company lists case configurations of 12 × 300 g and 24 × 150 g. A case size establishes the number and weight of boxes, not their ingredients or suitability for a particular attendee.
Obtain the current ingredient and allergen information for the exact fudge boxes before making them the event’s only confectionery option.
Ingredients and allergen information can change. M&S Food advises customers to check the product label rather than rely solely on its online information.
Check the delivered packs, including any substituted products, and keep their allergen information with the confectionery during service.
These examples illustrate different pack formats; each product’s current label and order details still matter.
M&S Food lists a 650 g Big Mix chocolate selection with 10 flavours and a 300 g Milk, Dark and White Selection that includes a fudge centre.
Waitrose lists the Cadbury Family Treatsize Chocolate Multipack as a 12-pack of approximately 12 portions, including a milk-chocolate-covered fudge component.
Tesco has separate listings for boxed chocolates, chocolate tubs and traditional toffee or fudge, which helps distinguish sharing formats from dedicated fudge products.
The Candy Company lists assorted fudge gift boxes in case formats of 12 × 300 g and 24 × 150 g.
These chocolate boxes are options for conference gifts or sharing when dedicated fudge is not required. Check their current labels and pack quantities against your distribution plan.

Yes, where the supplier or organiser is acting as a food business operator in the retail or catering sector. The Food Standards Agency says such operators must provide consumers with allergen information for both prepacked and non-prepacked food and drink. Keep information for the exact products served available to attendees.
No: a fudge centre can be one part of a wider chocolate selection. M&S Food’s Milk, Dark and White Selection includes a fudge centre among other flavours, whereas The Candy Company describes its assorted gift box as a selection of fudge. Describe the format attendees will actually receive.
Follow the instructions on the exact pack. M&S Food instructs customers to store its cited Chocolate Truffle Collection in a cool, dry place away from sunlight; check other products individually rather than assuming they have identical instructions.
No. M&S Food flags its cited assortments as unsuitable for particular allergy groups, with warnings differing by product. Check every selected variant’s current label and arrange an appropriate alternative where needed.
