For a one-off morning tea break, the M&S Vanilla Fudge Bar is an individually sold 36g option. Cadbury Fudge is a smaller 22g bar, but the Waitrose listing is for four bars together. Check the portion, total sugars and current allergen information before choosing: one bar to eat is not necessarily one bar to buy.
If you want to take home just one sweet, distinguish an individually sold bar from the individual bars inside a multipack. M&S lists its Vanilla Fudge Bar as a 36g product; the Waitrose Cadbury listing is a 4x22g pack.
The Cadbury Fudge unit identified by Cadbury UK is 22g, while the M&S Vanilla Fudge Bar is 36g. Check nutrition for the amount you plan to eat, rather than comparing product names alone.
Read the current pack for the particular bar you choose. M&S lists milk and soya in its Vanilla Fudge Bar and says it is unsuitable for people with nut, peanut or egg allergies; the Waitrose Cadbury ingredient list includes milk-derived ingredients.
Start with how the bars are sold, then compare the portion you would eat and the label on the pack in hand.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Pack format | Check the number of bars and the stated weights. M&S lists one 36g Vanilla Fudge Bar; the Waitrose Cadbury listing contains four 22g bars. | I want one treat without buying several bars to keep at home. An individually sold bar fits that plan more closely than a multipack. |
| Portion and nutrition | Read both the unit weight and nutrition for the portion. Waitrose lists 98 kcal and 14g total sugars per 22g Cadbury bar. M&S lists 53.0g total sugars per 100g for its 36g bar, equivalent to about 19.1g per bar. | A smaller bar may suit the portion I have in mind, but I want to compare the labelled amounts for the bar I would actually eat. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the current ingredient and allergen statements. M&S lists milk and soya and says its bar is unsuitable for people with nut, peanut or egg allergies; Waitrose lists milk-derived ingredients for Cadbury Fudge. | If I need to avoid an ingredient, I cannot judge suitability from the word “fudge” or from the label of a different bar. |
The M&S and Cadbury products described here combine fudge with milk chocolate. They are different formats from pieces of traditional fudge sold in a bag.
Read the product description and ingredients if the coating or fudge texture matters to your choice.
A 22g Cadbury unit and a 36g M&S bar represent different amounts to eat at one tea break. Nutrition per 100g alone does not show the amount in each whole bar.
Use the stated bar weight and per-bar figures where supplied. Waitrose lists 14g total sugars per 22g Cadbury bar; the M&S figure of 53.0g per 100g works out at about 19.1g for its 36g bar.
Waitrose lists the Cadbury product as 4x22g. You could eat one bar at a time, but the listed purchase contains four.
Check the pack count before ordering if you intend to buy only one treat.
Ingredients and allergen statements are specific to a product and may change. A similar-looking fudge bar is not a substitute for checking the one you will eat.
For an allergy or other necessary ingredient avoidance, read the current physical pack’s ingredient and allergen statements before eating.

This pack provides Cadbury fudge bars for separate tea breaks, but it is a four-bar purchase rather than one bar. The stated total pack weight is 88g. Check the current pack for the individual bar’s nutrition and full ingredient and allergen statements; the Joybuy product information identifies milk-derived ingredients.
Use the bar’s label to compare total sugars in the portion you would eat, but do not equate that figure directly with a free-sugars limit. The NHS distinguishes free sugars from the total sugars shown on food labels, which can also include naturally occurring sugars.
