Couples planning an all-white sweets table
Check whether every chocolate in a bundle is white, then work out how many individual portions its contents will provide.
Who is this for?
Hosts setting up a self-service buffet
Choose a way to serve portions while keeping the exact ingredient and allergen information accessible, particularly if wrappers are removed.
Buyers considering truffles or mixed bundles
A dedicated white-chocolate box and a larger mixed assortment serve different display plans. Check each variety and its allergen information before deciding.
What should you check?
Decide whether the buffet must be exclusively white chocolate, then compare portions, labelling and storage instructions for the exact products you plan to serve.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Chocolate selection | Read the name of every included variety. Lindt Shop UK’s 5 × 200g Seasonal Favourites bundle includes white options alongside dark, milk and hazelnut varieties. | I want every item on the sweets table to be white chocolate, rather than a mixed selection with a few white pieces. |
| Portions | Check the number of boxes, bars or pieces and how they will be served. A 200g truffle box is a different format from a five-box bundle or a bar multipack. | Guests should be able to take a portion, and I need enough for the planned guest count. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read each exact pack’s ingredient and allergen label; retain that information if items are served loose. GOV.UK states that UK retail and catering food businesses must provide allergen information for prepacked and non-prepacked food. | If I remove wrappers, I still want guests and the caterer to know which product each item came from. |
| Storage and timing | Follow the pack’s storage instructions and confirm that the order can arrive before the event. Marks & Spencer advises cool, dry storage away from sunlight for its white chocolate. | I need to store the chocolate before setup and have time to check the packs when they arrive. |
Common buying mistakes
-
Assuming a bundle with white chocolate is entirely white
Lindt Shop UK’s 5 × 200g Seasonal Favourites bundle also contains dark, milk and hazelnut varieties, so the complete assortment will not suit an all-white display.
Check every constituent product before ordering. If you serve a mixed bundle, identify its varieties accurately.
-
Removing wrappers without keeping the product details
Once different chocolates are loose on a buffet, guests and servers may have difficulty identifying their ingredients and allergens. GOV.UK’s allergen-information requirement applies to UK retail and catering food businesses serving prepacked or non-prepacked food.
Keep the original labels and an accurate record of which product is in each dish; share that information with the venue or caterer.
-
Relying on an old marketplace listing for a fixed date
A marketplace listing described Galaxy White Chocolate Bars as a 5 × 38g pack, but its 2025 listing details do not establish delivery for your event.
Before depending on a seller, confirm the product, delivery date and current pack details. Check the ingredients and best-before date when it arrives.
-
Treating a baking block as ready-to-take portions
A block intended for baking or decorating needs a serving plan if guests are to take chocolate directly from the buffet.
Decide how it will be portioned and identified, or choose a pack format that fits the way guests will take it.
Brand and product references
Lindt
Lindt Shop UK lists a dedicated LINDOR White Chocolate Truffles 200g box and a separate Seasonal Favourites bundle of five 200g boxes.
- The truffle box gives an all-white-chocolate selection; the larger bundle offers several chocolate varieties.
- The larger bundle is not exclusively white chocolate. Lindt’s white-truffle listing warns that the product may contain hazelnuts and other nuts.
Galaxy
A marketplace listing described Galaxy White Chocolate Bars in a 5 × 38g format.
- The listed format shows the kind of bar pack to look for if individual portions suit the buffet.
- That private-seller listing was updated in 2025 and included overseas dispatch details. Confirm the current seller, pack and delivery terms before ordering.
Cadbury
Cadbury UK has a white-chocolate product category and lists a separate 12-bar mixed pack.
- The white-chocolate category offers a starting point for checking individual products.
- Do not assume the 12-bar mixed pack meets an all-white-chocolate requirement; check the exact assortment.
M&S
M&S lists white chocolate that can be considered for dessert preparation rather than assumed to be a portioned buffet multipack.
- Its product guidance specifies cool, dry storage away from sunlight.
- Check how a block would be served and read the physical pack label for current product information.
Milka
An online seller lists a Milka White 90g bar.
- The listed bar gives a single-bar format to compare with portioned multipacks.
- The seller’s ingredient information includes milk and soya and a may-contain-nuts warning. Confirm delivery details and the physical pack before using it for the buffet.

Questions about buffet service
Can I serve unwrapped white chocolate in bowls?
You can plan a loose display, but keep reliable ingredient and allergen information for every product and avoid mixing up the varieties. For a UK buffet provided by a food business or caterer, GOV.UK states that allergen information must be provided for both prepacked and non-prepacked food; give the provider the exact product details before service.
Is white chocolate suitable for guests with milk, soya or nut allergies?
Do not judge allergen suitability by colour or by a generic product name. Lindt Shop UK’s LINDOR White Chocolate Truffles listing warns that they may contain hazelnuts and other nuts. Read the full ingredient and allergen information on each physical pack used at the event.
How should I store white chocolate before the wedding?
Follow the instructions on the exact pack. M&S advises storing its white chocolate in a cool, dry place away from sunlight; check other products’ labels for their own directions and consider where the buffet will be set up.
Is the Lindt five-box bundle an all-white-chocolate selection?
No. Lindt Shop UK’s 5 × 200g Seasonal Favourites bundle includes white and white-based varieties alongside dark, milk and hazelnut varieties. Present the whole bundle as a mixed selection, or identify any separately served products accurately.
