Who is each format for?

Hosts serving one treat per guest

A 35g Mallow & Marsh bar gives each guest an individual portion for a place setting or party bag. Check the number of guests before deciding how many bars to buy.

Hosts choosing between chocolate styles

The Mallow & Marsh vanilla bar is covered in milk chocolate; the raspberry bar is coated in 70% dark chocolate. Flavour is only part of the choice: both list beef gelatine and need an allergen check.

Hosts accommodating dietary requirements

Read the current label of each variant before serving it. The researched bars list beef gelatine, and their allergen and precautionary statements differ; neither should be assumed suitable for vegetarian or vegan guests.

What should you check before buying?

Decide how guests will be served, then check the exact variant’s flavour and ingredients.

Priority What to check Your needs
Guest suitability Read the current ingredient and allergen statements for the exact variant. Both researched Mallow & Marsh bars list beef gelatine; check declared allergens and precautionary wording separately. I need a treat each intended guest can eat, with a separate option for anyone whose requirements the chosen bar does not meet.
Serving format Compare a 35g individual bar with the pack size of a sharing bag. Work out whether you need one item per person or marshmallows for a communal bowl or toppings. For place settings, I want individual portions. For a help-yourself table, a bag makes more sense than handing out bars.
Flavour Check whether the bar is vanilla marshmallow in milk chocolate or raspberry marshmallow in 70% dark chocolate. Confirm the chosen variant on its pack. I want the chocolate and marshmallow flavour to suit the guests who will receive the bars.

Party-planning pitfalls

  • Assuming one bar suits every guest

    The researched Mallow & Marsh bars contain beef gelatine and carry allergen information that matters to guests with dietary requirements.

    Check the label of the exact bar bought, ask guests about their requirements and keep a suitable alternative separate.

  • Buying individual bars for a communal serving plan

    A 35g bar provides an individual portion, while a sharing bag serves a different purpose. Choosing bars for a bowl can mean buying many separate items when individual presentation is not needed.

    Set the serving plan and guest count first; use bars for individual handouts or consider a bag for a communal bowl or topping station.

Consider this 140g bag for a shared bowl rather than individual place settings. If guests avoid pork gelatine or milk, check the current pack before serving.

Questions about serving marshmallows

Are the researched marshmallow bars vegetarian or vegan?

Do not serve either researched Mallow & Marsh bar as a vegetarian or vegan option: both list beef gelatine. Check the current pack of the exact variant before offering it to a guest with dietary requirements.

What should I check for guests with food allergies?

Read the physical pack before serving. The researched vanilla bar lists milk and soya and may contain peanuts, tree nuts and egg; the raspberry bar lists soya and has precautionary statements for egg, milk, peanuts and tree nuts. Check the exact variant rather than assuming the two labels are the same.

Should I buy bars or a bag for a party?

Choose bars when you need an individual portion for each guest; consider a bag when guests will help themselves from a bowl or use marshmallows as a topping. Check pack size, guest count and ingredients before deciding how much to buy.
