Who each format suits

Hosts handing out one sweet per guest

A printed bar count makes it easier to plan individual portions. Tesco lists a Cadbury Fudge pack with four 22g bars; compare that count with your guest list before buying.

Hosts setting out smaller portions

Tesco lists a 202g Cadbury Fudge treat-size bag with nutrition information per 13.5g portion. It can serve as a sharing bag, but check the piece count on the pack if every guest must receive one.

Hosts serving fudge from a shared dish

Thorntons and M&S Food list traditional or assorted fudge options for a communal table. Keep the current packaging available so guests can check ingredients and allergens.

What to check before buying

Start with how you will serve the fudge, then check the portion information, current ingredients and storage instructions for the pack you choose.

Priority What to check Your needs
Portion count Compare the printed count with your guest list. Tesco lists four 22g bars in its Cadbury multipack; its 202g treat-size listing gives a 13.5g portion but no exact piece count. I want to hand one item to each guest, so I need a confirmed count rather than relying on bag weight.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current pack label and keep it beside a shared serving dish. Tesco lists milk ingredients in Cadbury Fudge; ASDA lists milk and soya in Thorntons Vanilla Fudge 150g, with a may-contain warning for egg and peanuts. Guests need access to the ingredients for the fudge actually being served, even after it leaves its packaging.
Serving size Compare like-for-like nutrition information and decide how much to put out. Tesco lists 98 kcal and 14g sugars per 22g Cadbury bar, versus 60 kcal and 8.8g sugars per 13.5g treat-size portion. I may prefer smaller portions on a sharing table, while a full bar gives me a defined handout.
Outdoor storage Follow the pack instructions. Tesco says to store its listed Cadbury Fudge products in a dry place and protect them from heat; keep reserve packs sealed until needed. For an outdoor party, I want to bring out portions as they are needed rather than leave all the chocolate-covered fudge on the table.

Street-party buying pitfalls

  • Planning handouts from bag weight alone

    Tesco gives a weight and a 13.5g portion for its 202g treat-size bag, but not an exact piece count. Those figures cannot confirm one piece per guest.

    Choose a printed fixed-count pack for individual handouts, or check the treat-size bag’s actual count and keep a spare pack.

  • Treating every fudge pack as the same serving format

    Counted chocolate-covered bars, treat-size bags and loose traditional fudge require different plans for handing out or sharing portions.

    Decide whether guests will receive a bar, take a smaller piece or serve themselves from a dish before comparing packs.

  • Removing the packaging before guests can check it

    The listed Cadbury products contain milk ingredients. ASDA lists milk and soya in Thorntons Vanilla Fudge 150g, which may also contain egg and peanuts.

    Check the current label before serving and keep the original packaging beside the fudge, or provide ingredient information copied accurately from that pack.

Frequently asked questions

How many fixed-count fudge packs should I buy?

Count the guests you plan to serve, then compare that total with the printed bar count. Tesco lists a Cadbury Fudge pack containing four 22g bars, so one such pack covers no more than four one-bar handouts.

Will a treat-size bag give every guest one piece?

Check the count on the pack before relying on it for that purpose. Tesco lists its 202g Cadbury Fudge treat-size bag with a 13.5g portion, but its listing does not give an exact number of pieces.

How can guests check allergens at a shared fudge table?

Check the current ingredients before serving and keep each product’s packaging available beside the fudge. The listed Cadbury products contain milk ingredients; ASDA lists milk and soya in Thorntons Vanilla Fudge 150g, which may also contain egg and peanuts.

Can I leave fudge outside for the whole street party?

Follow the storage instructions on the pack rather than assuming it can stay outside throughout the event. Tesco says to keep its listed Cadbury Fudge products dry and protect them from heat, so keep reserve packs sealed and bring out portions as needed.
