Mini chocolate rusks are worth considering for a work meeting if you need a dry snack that can be served without preparation. Choose between milk chocolate and the variety described as wholegrain dark chocolate to suit the group’s preferences. Before buying, check the pack size, ingredients and allergen information for each variety. According to product information from Brandt and REWE, Brandt Minis milk chocolate contains wheat, milk and soya, among other ingredients, so it won’t be suitable for everyone.
