What situations is the 20 g size suitable for, and how is it best used? — Gluten-Free Amaranth Bar with Coconut Filling and Glaze, Enriched with Vitamins, 20 g

The 20 g size is one small portion, designed for when you fancy something sweet but not a large amount. This size is convenient to take with you and keep to hand.

The bar can come in handy in various everyday situations:

• when packing a lunch box, as the sweet part of a snack;
• as a sweet treat on the go, at work or at school or university;
• as a small treat with coffee or tea, when you want something to go with your drink.

In terms of taste it is a proper dessert: the coconut filling and glaze give it the character of a treat rather than a compromise snack. That is why it makes sense to see it as an alternative to ordinary sweets or biscuits, not as a main meal.

As general practical advice, bars like this with a filling and glaze are best stored in a dry, cool place away from heat so that the glaze keeps its shape. The exact storage conditions and shelf life are always stated on the packaging, and that is what to go by. As with any sweet, it is sensible to fit the bar into your overall diet, taking into account how much sweet food you usually eat during the day.
