If you want a separately wrapped portion to carry with coffee, compare the size of each bar as well as the pack count: Sainsbury's lists seven-bar Toffee Crisp packs with 18.7g bars and nine-bar packs with 31g bars. If chewy toffee matters more than a biscuit-and-chocolate bar, an individually wrapped toffee bag is another option, but it is a different format from a multipack of separate bars. Check the exact pack's ingredients and per-portion nutrition before choosing.
A separately wrapped bar is easy to take from a multipack for one coffee break. Sainsbury's lists the seven-bar Toffee Crisp pack with individual 18.7g bars; it is a biscuit-and-caramel bar, not chewy toffee.
Sainsbury's lists nine individually wrapped 31g bars in the larger Toffee Crisp format. Check the per-bar figures rather than assuming that the two pack sizes contain equivalent portions.
M&S describes its Double Devon Toffees as individually wrapped sweets that can be carried in a pocket. They come in a bag rather than as separate single-serve snack bags, so taking a few sweets requires a different routine from picking up one bar.
Choose the sweet or snack format first, then compare the number of wrapped portions, their size and the information on the exact pack.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Snack format | Check whether the pack contains chewy toffees, biscuit bars or another toffee-flavoured snack. For a bag, check whether individual sweets are wrapped rather than assuming it contains separate snack bags. | If I want the texture of traditional toffee, a bag of individually wrapped sweets makes more sense to me than a chocolate-coated biscuit bar. |
| Portion size | Sainsbury's lists seven 18.7g bars in one Toffee Crisp pack and nine 31g bars in another. Compare both the number of bars and the weight of one bar. | For repeated coffee breaks, I would rather know what one wrapped portion contains than choose by pack count alone. |
| Per-portion nutrition | Sainsbury's lists 97 kcal and 9.2g sugars per 18.7g Toffee Crisp bar, compared with 161 kcal and 15.6g sugars per 31g bar. These are different-sized servings, not equal-weight comparisons. | A smaller bar may suit the portion I had in mind; I would check the figures for the specific pack I am buying. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients and any precautionary allergen statements on the exact pack. GOV.UK says that, for UK prepacked food, any of the 14 regulated allergens present as ingredients must be clearly identified in the ingredients list. | Where an ingredient or allergen matters to me, I cannot assume that toffee sweets, biscuit bars and popcorn have the same recipe. |
| Keeping portions separate | Check how each unit is wrapped and the storage instructions on the pack. Separate wrappers make it possible to take one portion without carrying an opened sharing bag. | I may want to leave the rest of the pack at home and put one wrapped snack in my bag for a coffee break. |
Toffee Crisp bars combine caramel with biscuit, cereal and chocolate coating. They offer a different format and texture from M&S Double Devon Toffees.
Choose by the product type as well as its name: a bar multipack provides separate bars, while a bag of wrapped sweets suits someone specifically looking for chewy toffee.
Sainsbury's lists the seven-bar Toffee Crisp pack at 18.7g, 97 kcal and 9.2g sugars per bar; its nine-bar pack has 31g, 161 kcal and 15.6g sugars per bar.
Compare weight and nutrition per bar alongside pack count so that the portion you carry is the one you intended to buy.
Waitrose lists sweeteners in Werther's Original Sugar Free Butter Candies and gives a warning that excessive consumption may produce laxative effects.
Read the current pack's ingredients and warning, as well as its allergen information, before choosing this butter-candy option.
Toffee sweets, chocolate biscuit bars and toffee-flavoured snacks can have different ingredients and storage instructions. The exact variant matters when you check allergens or plan to keep a portion in your bag.
Confirm the label and storage directions on the product you receive, particularly if an ingredient restriction affects your choice.
These ranges illustrate the difference between individually portioned bars and bagged sweets; a brand name alone does not identify the pack format.
Sainsbury's lists separate seven-bar and nine-bar multipacks of Toffee Crisp biscuit bars.

Seven individually wrapped 18.7g bars give you separate portions to take on a commute. These caramel, cereal and biscuit bars have a chocolate-flavour coating rather than the texture of chewy toffee; check the current pack for milk, wheat and precautionary allergen information.

Four individually wrapped 38g bars offer a larger single bar than the seven-pack's 18.7g portions. This is a caramel-and-biscuit bar rather than chewy toffee; check the current pack for milk, wheat and precautionary allergen information.

The eight individually foil-wrapped caramel wafers can be carried one at a time for a coffee break. A wafer is not a chewy toffee sweet; check the pack for milk, soya and wheat if those ingredients matter to you.

Six separate 20g packs provide a toffee-flavoured popcorn portion to carry. Choose this for popcorn rather than a chewy sweet or caramel biscuit bar, and check the current pack's milk allergen information.
No image available
Sixteen individually wrapped 20g biscuits provide separate caramel-and-chocolate portions for a bag or desk break. They are biscuits rather than chewy toffees; check the pack for per-biscuit nutrition and for milk, wheat, barley, soya and precautionary nut information.
No. Toffee Crisp multipacks contain individually wrapped biscuit bars with caramel, cereal and chocolate coating. M&S Double Devon Toffees are chewy sweets sold in a bag, although M&S says the sweets are individually wrapped.
Sainsbury's lists 18.7g bars in the seven-pack, at 97 kcal and 9.2g sugars per bar. Its nine-pack contains larger 31g bars, at 161 kcal and 15.6g sugars per bar. Compare those per-bar portions, not just the number of bars.
Check the ingredients and precautionary statements on the exact pack you plan to buy. GOV.UK says that any of the 14 regulated allergens present as ingredients in UK prepacked food must be clearly identified in the ingredients list; recipes differ across toffees, bars and other snacks.
Yes. Waitrose lists sweeteners in Werther's Original Sugar Free Butter Candies and states that excessive consumption may produce laxative effects. Read that warning and the ingredients on the current pack rather than relying on the sugar-free description alone.
Follow the storage directions on the specific pack. M&S instructs buyers to keep its Double Devon Toffees in a cool, dry place away from sunlight; check the label separately for a biscuit bar or another snack.
