Thank you to everyone and for the lively discussion. Dorothy's entry gave me the final solution: ...and to keep handy in the fridge for when you want another one."

The German is too wordy... ...to be directly conveyed in EN. The German has three ideas for these multipacks:
1. They're ideal for sharing with family and friends
2. You can keep them as a 'Vorratspackung'
3. They're great for the times when you fancy another snack.

My gut feeling is to combine ideas 2 & 3. I mean why else would you keep a 'Vorratspackung' if not for eating some later - even if later is just 5 mins after eating the first one! So something along the lines of:
'Ideal for sharing with family and friends or for keeping in stock/in the fridge for when you fancy another snack/one just isn't enough'.

It does deviate slightly from the original meaning, but I don't think badly so. I think it's better that way than trying to fit the three ideas into EN and ending up with a clunky-sounding translation.

To keep in the fridge Yes, I realised that after posting my answer and added a note to that effect. The idea is still the same, however, that you keep the snack for later consumption.

Remember these are *chilled" They can't be stored in the cupboard.
