Buying Guide

Decide portion sizes

Estimate how many small favor bags you need and pick bulk bags or multi-packs that make portioning efficient to avoid overbuying

Choose flavor variety vs. uniform flavors

Variety packs like multi-flavor jars provide broad appeal for mixed crowds, while single-flavor bulk bags simplify labeling for themed events

Compare cost per ounce

Evaluate value by dividing package price by weight—larger bulk bags and multi-pack jars typically lower per-ounce cost for big events

Consider dietary and allergen info

Check ingredient lists and allergen statements if guests have dietary restrictions; some novelty or themed beans may include additional additives

Factor in packaging and storage

Choose resealable bags or sturdy jars for easier storage and transport; individual portioning is simpler with consistent-sized pieces
