This is just a VERY powerful crate. Could you tune it down a small bit? I'd cut each snack to 3 each and reduce everything else by one at least.

I've been meaning to restructure this PR, it's been needing a rework and I've let it fall by the wayside.
First, I want to give you the two most apt comparisons. The first is a Getmore Restock, which currently restocks 3 of each of the following in any snack.yml machine, 6 if you use both boxes on the same machine:
Effectively this crate as it is is a focused version of that restock box (which comes in 2 per crate, which costs 600), going for the same total (minus the contraband), just in the actual baking ingredients. It is then merged with the "optimal" baking crate which is Kitchen Supplies, which comes with the following:
Same concept, but a cut inventory, being less "generally" good, and being hyper-focused on baking. And yes, the Kitchen Supplies crate is in fact that good, and I think it's that way because they're an absolute pain to get from cargo, especially if you want more than one, they'd rather just give you ChefVends due to their ease of delivery.
With 3 of each snack, we're getting ~300 in value from the snacks, with a cut kitchen supplies inventory, and then you're wondering why you're ever ordering this. 3 of a reagent to cook with kind of sucks. For instance, with one such crate you can make:
Pistachios: 3 Baklava (only recipe, has the advantage of being a pie for the sake of clown/bounty)
4no Rasins: 3 Raisin Cookies (only recipe, unless you count Cak, which this crate does not cover)
Chocolate: This gets even more sad:
In order for this crate to be worth getting, I think you need to go heavy on the candy. It's a pantry crate for when Botany is refusing to grow crops for you because they have other focuses (a common issue on servers like Salamander), allowing you to still cook foods that require effort and "uncommon" ingredients through working with cargo, and without having to raid all of the snack machines on the station.
If we're going to nerf the ingredients, the worst I'd like to see is 4 on the 3 candies, or cutting pistachios and raisins and boosting the chocolate. If this crate is to exist, it has to have a reason to be taken over Kitchen Supplies and ChefVend, otherwise it'll just be bloat in the Cargo menu that will be ignored.

I trust your judgement I didn't realize how powerful the other crates where. Maybe just slightly reduce some of the candy then?

I'm stuck in the office today, but thinking about what changes to make.
I can see cutting pistachios and raisins to 4 to still see inherent value in ordering this crate over Kitchen Supplies. If forced to cut more, it'd be to get pistachios down to 2-3, given how much relative food Baklava gives as a pie item, but I don't see what real abuse can come from having it at 4. It makes for an easy pie for clown to throw, it's another efficient way to do the pie bounty (ChefVend just does it with meat pie instead), but it doesn't break anything or shake up the meta at all beyond allowing easier no-Botany Chef play.
That said, I'm thinking about the FoodBoxCloth that's now been added to Kitchen Supplies. I think that I need to add it to this crate. Not just for moth inclusiveness and the inherent baking theme to the crate, but because I can see in 6 months time if I don't add it, a new contributor is going to see it missing from this crate and think that it's an omission and PR to get one added to it. I may as well jump ahead and add one.
