Choose a pack with a declared bar count when you need to plan one portion per conference attendee, but check that the bars are individually wrapped before promising sealed handouts. A treat-size pack needs a confirmed piece count; a carton suits staffed portioning rather than one sealed item per person. Check the delivered pack for allergens and storage instructions before service.
A pack with a declared number of bars helps you calculate quantities for welcome bags or handouts. If each attendee needs a sealed item, check the individual wrapping on the pack before committing to that service plan.
A carton can be portioned at a staffed refreshment or dessert table. Keep its packaging or an accurate product-specific allergen record available when serving.

Waitrose & Partners lists milk in its clotted-cream fudge and a precautionary warning for peanuts and nuts; Cadbury Fudge also contains milk. | Attendees and serving staff need product-specific information available when the fudge is offered. |
| Service and storage | Check whether portions are individually wrapped if sealed handouts are required.
