Small hotel-room tea groups
Individual chocolate buttons can be passed round without cutting a bar or finding plates. Cadbury describes its 100g bag as bite-sized buttons, while the Milkybar listing identifies a 94g sharing bag.
Who is a sharing bag for?
White-chocolate-only shoppers
If guests have asked specifically for white chocolate, check the product name and varieties. The Lindt LINDOR 1kg assortment includes white truffles, but also milk, dark and hazelnut varieties.
Hosts checking allergens
Read the declaration on each pack before sharing. The Milkybar bag lists milk, while the Cadbury button bag lists milk and soya; a mixed assortment calls for its own ingredient checks.
What should you check?
For hotel-room tea, start with what guests want to share and can eat, then check the pack format, size and storage wording.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Sharing format | Look for individual pieces in a bag. The identified white-chocolate button bags weigh 94g and 100g. | I want to pass chocolate round with tea without cutting a bar or bringing a large box. |
| Allergens | Read the current pack’s ingredients, allergen declaration and precautionary wording. The identified Milkybar bag lists milk; Cadbury lists milk and soya. | Before offering any to guests, I need to check whether the exact pack suits their dietary requirements. |
| Storage | Follow the pack instructions. Cadbury specifies a dry place and protection from heat; the Milkybar listing specifies cool, dry storage. | The bag may sit in luggage or a hotel room before tea, so I need somewhere away from heat and damp. |
| Chocolate varieties | Check whether every piece is white chocolate. Lindt’s LINDOR 1kg assortment also contains milk, dark and hazelnut varieties. | If everyone expects white chocolate, an assortment containing just some white pieces does not meet that request. |
Mistakes to avoid
-
Assuming all white chocolate has the same allergens
The identified bags have different declarations: both list milk, and Cadbury also lists soya. The colour or brand name cannot establish whether a pack suits a guest.
Check the ingredients, allergen declaration and precautionary wording on the physical pack before sharing.
-
Choosing a mixed assortment for a white-chocolate-only request
Lindt’s LINDOR 1kg assortment includes milk, dark and hazelnut truffles alongside white ones, so not every piece meets that request.
Choose a product identified as white chocolate if that is what guests have asked for; check every variety if considering an assortment.
-
Leaving the bag beside the kettle or a sunny window
Cadbury instructs shoppers to protect its bag from heat and store it dry. The Milkybar listing calls for cool, dry storage.
Keep the bag away from heat and damp before opening it for tea.

Frequently asked questions
What size white-chocolate bag works for tea with a few people?
Start with the number of guests and whether you are serving other snacks. The identified white-chocolate button bags are 94g Milkybar and 100g Cadbury; Lindt’s 1kg LINDOR assortment is much larger and contains several chocolate varieties.
Can someone with a milk allergy share either button bag?
Neither identified bag is suitable for someone who must avoid milk: the Cadbury product lists milk ingredients, and the Milkybar listing identifies milk as an allergen. Check the physical pack’s full declaration before offering chocolate to any guest.
Does the Cadbury white-chocolate button bag contain soya?
Yes, the Cadbury Gifts Direct ingredient listing includes soya lecithins. Check the current pack rather than assuming that another white-chocolate bag has the same ingredients.
Where should I keep the bag in a hotel room?
Keep it away from heat and damp. Cadbury’s storage wording specifies a dry place and protection from heat; the Milkybar listing specifies cool, dry storage.
Can a mixed Lindt assortment replace a white-chocolate sharing bag?
Not when guests want only white chocolate. Lindt’s LINDOR Assorted Chocolate Truffles 1kg includes white pieces alongside milk, dark and hazelnut varieties; consider it only if the group wants that mixture and the larger pack suits the occasion.
