Choose mini biscuits based on how you plan to hand them out, not just their size. Individually wrapped biscuits work well when giving one to each visitor; multipacks are handy when preparing snacks for groups or different times. For each option, check how many biscuits are in the pack and keep the ingredients and allergen information to hand.
If visitors are picking up a biscuit themselves, or volunteers are handing them out quickly, one at a time, individually wrapped options are worth considering. For example, Lotus lists a box of individually wrapped biscuits.
Multipacks let you keep some of your supplies sealed until the next shift or serving time. ALDI lists Biscotto Mini Biscuits in a pack of six mini-packs; also check how many biscuits each pack contains.
For visitors or team members with a food allergy, the ingredients list for the exact product matters. Keep this information with the biscuits if you’re serving them from a platter, too.
Best for: visitors helping themselves or one-at-a-time serving during busy periods.
Consider: a large box, such as the box of 300 biscuits listed by Lotus, needs to suit the number of visitors and your storage space.
Best for: snacks you prepare in advance for each team, group or serving time.
Consider: one inner pack may contain more than one biscuit, or a different amount from your ideal portion.
Best for: a platter or snack table where you decide how many to put out.
Consider: once opened, you’ll need to organise serving yourself and keep the product information with the biscuits.

| Allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack; keep it available when serving from an opened pack. | If someone at the festival has a food allergy, I need to be able to check which product I’m handing out. This matters most to around 21% of consumers. |
| Nutritional information | Compare the stated serving size and nutritional values per 100 g and per serving. | When choosing a treat for the programme, I want to know what each portion contains. Around 14% of consumers give this consideration priority. |
Small biscuits may come together in one bag or in packs containing several biscuits. Size alone doesn’t tell you how they can be served.
Check the number of biscuits, inner packs and individual wrappers before planning portions.
Ingredients vary between products. Even within the same brand, information for one biscuit won’t necessarily apply to another.
Read the label for the product you’ve chosen shortly before buying, and keep the information available while you’re serving the biscuits.
An online listing doesn’t mean that exact pack is still available. A replacement pack may also have a different format.
Check the current packaging shortly before you buy, and choose an alternative based on your serving plan.

Follow the storage advice and use-by or best-before date on the pack you choose. For example, Lotus advises keeping its box of individually wrapped Biscoff biscuits in a dry place, away from heat sources. Don’t assume the same product-specific advice applies to other biscuits.
