M&S Millionaire Shortbread 50 g is a single caramel, milk chocolate and shortbread treat if those flavours suit the recipient, but it is not traditional toffee. If they specifically want toffee, keep the search focused on that confectionery rather than treating a bag or multipack as a single-bar purchase; check allergens on the current pack before gifting.
A single snack is easier to add to a card or gift bag than a larger bag of sweets. M&S lists a 50 g Millionaire Shortbread and a 60 g Made Without Wheat millionaire bar; Tesco’s listed traditional-toffee options include larger bags.
The M&S single snacks combine caramel with biscuit and chocolate. They suit a recipient who would welcome those flavours, rather than someone expecting plain traditional toffee.
The two M&S snacks have different ingredients, and neither should be chosen on its name alone. Check the current physical pack against every relevant restriction before giving it.
Start with the confectionery the recipient actually wants, then check whether the retail pack, ingredients and portion format fit a one-treat gift.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Pack format | Check whether the item is sold as one snack, a multipack or a bag. A wrapped bar inside a multipack is not a single-bar retail pack. | I want one complete treat to give, without dividing up a larger purchase. |
| Toffee or caramel | Read the product description: M&S Millionaire Shortbread combines caramel, shortbread and milk chocolate, while Tesco lists traditional toffee in a 175 g pack. | If the recipient asked for plain toffee, a layered caramel snack may miss the point. |
| Allergens | Check the current ingredients and allergen information on the physical pack. M&S says both of its listed single snacks are unsuitable for people with peanut or nut allergy. | I need to know the recipient can eat the gift; a gluten-free biscuit base does not address a nut allergy. |
| Nutrition label | Compare like-for-like figures, such as total sugars per 100 g, and check the pack size. The NHS distinguishes the total-sugars figure on labels from free sugars. | I’d like to compare the labelled portions and nutrition figures without treating total sugars as a free-sugars calculation. |
| Availability | Check the current listing and local stock before planning the gift. The Waitrose listing for Tony’s Chocolonely Dark Milk Pretzel Toffee 180 g marks it unavailable and describes six servings per bar. | I need a treat I can obtain in time, not just a product that appears in a listing. |
Shortbread, chocolate and salted caramel change the type of treat. A recipient asking for hard or chewy toffee may not want a millionaire-style snack.
Choose a caramel bar only if those ingredients sound welcome; otherwise, look for the requested toffee and check its pack format separately.
M&S describes its Made Without Wheat Salted Caramel Hazelnut Millionaire Bar as gluten free, but it contains hazelnuts and is marked unsuitable for peanut or nut allergy.
Check every relevant ingredient and allergen warning on the current physical pack, particularly when buying for someone else.
A product page does not establish that the item will be available when you shop. The Waitrose listing for the 180 g Tony’s Chocolonely toffee-named bar marks it unavailable.
Confirm availability close to purchase and have another suitable gift in mind if the intended item cannot be obtained.
These retailer listings help distinguish individual caramel snacks from traditional toffee sold in other formats; they do not imply that every item is available locally.
M&S lists Millionaire Shortbread 50 g and Made Without Wheat Salted Caramel Hazelnut Millionaire Bar 60 g as individual caramel-based snacks.
Tesco’s traditional-confectionery listing includes Werther’s Original 135 g and Tesco Toffee 175 g.
Waitrose lists Tony’s Chocolonely Dark Milk Pretzel Toffee as a 180 g bar containing six servings.
This Joybuy option is a toffee-named confectionery bar sold as a four-bar pack. It suits giving one wrapped bar from a multipack only if that differs acceptably from buying a single-bar retail pack.

If giving one bar from a multipack works for the occasion, this is a toffee-named option to consider.
The retail pack contains four 38 g bars, not one standalone bar. Check the current physical pack for ingredients and allergens before giving it.
No. The M&S Millionaire Shortbread 50 g combines shortbread, caramel and milk chocolate, while its Made Without Wheat Salted Caramel Hazelnut Millionaire Bar 60 g has a gluten-free biscuit base, salted caramel and hazelnuts. Choose either only if the recipient would welcome a layered caramel snack instead of plain toffee.
No, not if buying one bar is important. Tesco lists Tesco Toffee 175 g and Werther’s Original 135 g in its traditional-confectionery range; check the retail pack format rather than assuming an individually offered sweet is sold as a single bar.
No. M&S lists roasted hazelnuts in the Made Without Wheat Salted Caramel Hazelnut Millionaire Bar and says it is unsuitable for people with peanut or nut allergy. Its gluten-free description does not address those allergies.
Check the current physical pack’s ingredients and allergen information against the recipient’s specific restrictions. GOV.UK says that any of the 14 regulated allergens present in prepacked food must be clearly identified in the ingredients list.
