The mini multipack changes the portion, not the biscuit: six sealed bags of 21g each, 126g in the box. What you are really choosing is a way of handing out an iced biscuit one small bag at a time, with the rest kept shut.
What the snack bag format is for
The point of the snack bag is control. Each sealed bag is one small portion, opened only when it is wanted while the rest of the box stays shut, so a child gets a handful rather than the run of a whole sleeve. That makes the minis the practical buy for school bags, picnics and the car, while the classic Party Rings pack is the better choice for tipping into a bowl at a party.
The listing gives the bag weight and the box weight but not the number of rings in each bag, so we will not guess at it; the current pack is the place to check. Six bags in a box makes planning easy, though, with a week of school lunches covered and one spare for the weekend.
Icing first, biscuit second
On the mini ring the icing is the headline. A ring has plenty of edge for its weight and that is where the icing collects, so the hard, glassy shell arrives first and loudest, and the plain, dry biscuit underneath is little more than a platform. The sweetness is concentrated in that one layer rather than spread through a dough, which is why it lands all at once.
The feathered pattern is made the same way as on the full-size ring: lines of wet icing drawn through one another with a point, so each biscuit comes out slightly different. The published ingredient list for this barcode names wheat (gluten) and soya, and alongside the wheat flour, sugar and palm oil it lists radish, carrot, apple, safflower, blackcurrant and hibiscus concentrates.
Drinks, dunking and who they suit
These are at their best in a child's hand with a glass of squash, at a birthday or on a school day. For adults they are a small sweet thing rather than a partner for tea, because there is no butter, cocoa or spice for a cup to meet. If an adult does pour a cup alongside, make it a plain black tea with no sugar in it; a sweetened drink next to pure icing is too much.
Dunking is barely worth it. Hot tea dissolves set icing much faster than it softens the biscuit, so two seconds at the very edge is the most a mini ring will stand before the pattern is gone. Keep unopened bags somewhere cool and dry, and treat an opened one as something to finish in one go.

FAQ
How much is in each bag of Party Rings Mini? Each sealed bag is 21g, and the box holds six bags, 126g in total. The number of rings per bag is printed on the current pack.
Are the mini rings the same as normal Party Rings? They are the same feathered iced ring idea, made small and packed in sealed portions. On the minis the hard icing shell leads every bite, with the plain biscuit as its base.
Why buy snack bags instead of the classic pack? Each sealed bag is a ready portion, so only what is being eaten gets opened. That suits lunchboxes and days out; the classic pack is better for a party bowl.
What allergens are listed? The published ingredient list for this barcode names wheat (gluten) and soya. Always read the pack, since recipes can change.
Can you dunk mini Party Rings? Hardly. Two seconds at the edge is the limit before the icing dissolves into the tea.
Curator's note: Hand these out, do not plate them. A sealed bag in a lunchbox is where a mini ring makes the most sense, and a plain cup for whoever packed it. Lee, teas.co.uk, Tunbridge Wells.
