For a large hunt where an assortment is welcome, Crawford's mixed box provides 100 individually wrapped three-biscuit portions, but the number containing Bourbon Creams is not specified. If every prize must be a bourbon biscuit, Roberts Bakery identifies Giants Bourbon as individually wrapped; check the seller's pack count before deciding how many to order. Whichever format you choose, read the supplied pack's ingredient and allergen declaration before handing it out.
Who is each format for?
Organisers planning a large, mixed hunt
If sealed portions matter more than giving everyone the same biscuit, Crawford's assorted box is an option. Vending Superstore lists 100 individually wrapped portions of three biscuits each, with Bourbon Creams among six varieties.
Organisers planning bourbon-only prizes
If every finder should receive a bourbon biscuit, Roberts Bakery identifies Giants Bourbon as individually wrapped. Confirm the number of biscuits in the retail pack with the seller before working out your order quantity.
Hosts checking allergies
Keep the exact product packaging available when handing out prizes. Roberts Bakery lists wheat and milk ingredients for Giants Bourbon and says it may contain egg, nuts and soya; check whether that declaration is suitable for each recipient rather than relying on the wrapper alone.
What should you check before buying?
Mixed mini-packs
Choose when: You need numerous sealed handouts and an assortment is acceptable. Vending Superstore lists 100 Crawford's portions, each containing three biscuits.
Trade-off: Bourbon Creams are one of six varieties, so the box does not establish how many bourbon prizes you will have.
Individually wrapped bourbon
Choose when: Every biscuit prize needs to be a bourbon; Roberts Bakery identifies Giants Bourbon as individually wrapped.
Trade-off: Check the seller's retail pack count before planning one biscuit per finder.
Decide whether every prize must be a bourbon, then count distributable portions and check the exact packaging.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
| Sealed portions |
Confirm that each prize has its own wrapper. Check whether a portion contains one biscuit or several. |
I want to hand out unopened prizes without dividing biscuits from a shared packet during the hunt. |
| Bourbon in every prize |
Distinguish bourbon-only products from assortments. For a mixed box, ask the supplier how many portions contain Bourbon Creams. |
If every finder expects a bourbon biscuit, an assorted box only works once I know it contains enough bourbon portions. |
| Prize quantity |
Count wrapped portions, not biscuits or outer cartons. Vending Superstore lists 100 Crawford's portions with three biscuits in each; confirm the retail pack count for Roberts Giants Bourbon with the seller. |
I need enough separate prizes for the expected participants, regardless of how many biscuits sit inside each wrapper. |
| Ingredients and allergens |
Read the declaration on the exact pack supplied. Roberts Bakery lists wheat and milk ingredients for Giants Bourbon and says it may contain egg, nuts and soya. |
Before offering a biscuit to someone with an allergy, I need to check its own label and have an appropriate alternative available. |
Mistakes to avoid
-
Assuming an assorted box contains only bourbons
Vending Superstore lists Bourbon Creams alongside five other varieties in Crawford's 100-pack box. The total number of portions is not a bourbon-only count.
Use the box for mixed prizes, or ask the supplier for the bourbon-portion allocation before relying on it for a bourbon-only hunt.
-
Counting biscuits instead of wrapped prizes
Each Crawford's mini-pack contains three biscuits, but it is one sealed portion to hand out.
Match the number of wrapped portions to the number of prizes you plan to distribute.
-
Treating a wrapper as an allergy check
Individual wrapping does not change the ingredients. Roberts Bakery lists wheat and milk ingredients for Giants Bourbon and says it may contain egg, nuts and soya.
Check the supplied pack's declaration before the event, keep the label available and arrange a suitable alternative where needed.

Common questions
Are individually wrapped bourbon biscuits suitable for everyone?
No: a separate wrapper does not resolve an ingredient or allergy concern. Roberts Bakery lists wheat and milk ingredients for Giants Bourbon and says it may contain egg, nuts and soya. Check the exact pack supplied and do not offer it to someone whose allergy conflicts with its declaration.
Will every pack in a mixed box contain Bourbon Creams?
Do not plan on that with Crawford's assorted box. Vending Superstore lists Bourbon Creams among six varieties across 100 individually wrapped portions, without stating how many portions contain each variety. Ask the supplier for the allocation if every finder needs a bourbon prize.
How many packs should I count for the hunt?
Count separately wrapped portions against the number of prizes you intend to hand out, rather than counting individual biscuits. Vending Superstore lists 100 Crawford's portions with three biscuits in each. For Roberts Giants Bourbon, confirm the retail pack count with the seller before calculating how many packs to order.
