Choose an individually portioned bar multipack if packing a separate sweet for each lunchbox matters most: Sainsbury’s lists its Toffee Crisp x9 as nine 31g bars, but they are chocolate-coated bars with caramel and crisped cereal, not traditional chewy toffee. For a cream-tea table where the style of sweet matters more, M&S Double Devon Toffees are individually wrapped, while Werther’s Original comes in a sharing pouch; you would need to portion either yourself.
A counted bar multipack avoids dividing sweets while packing. Sainsbury’s Toffee Crisp x9 contains nine individual 31g bars, though its chocolate, caramel and crisped-cereal format differs from traditional toffee.
M&S describes its Double Devon Toffees as individually wrapped and chewy. Waitrose lists Werther’s Original as a sharing pouch of wrapped butter candies. Either can be set out or portioned without treating the bag as a counted multipack.
Read the current pack’s ingredients and warnings before serving. The listed Werther’s Original ingredients include milk and soya, and M&S states that Double Devon Toffees are unsuitable for children under 36 months because of choking risk.
Decide whether separate sealed portions or a traditional toffee style matters more, then check the particular pack you plan to serve.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Separate portions | Look for a stated bar count and size. Sainsbury’s lists Toffee Crisp x9 as nine individual 31g bars; individual sweet wrappers alone do not make a bag a counted multipack. | I want to put one sealed portion in each lunchbox without dividing a bag of sweets. |
| Type of sweet | Check whether the pack contains chewy toffees, wrapped butter candies or chocolate-coated bars. M&S describes Double Devon Toffees as chewy; Sainsbury’s describes Toffee Crisp bars as containing caramel and crisped cereal. | For a cream tea, I may prefer a wrapped sweet alongside the scones rather than a chocolate-coated bar. |
| Ingredients and warnings | Read the current pack’s ingredients and allergen statement. Werther’s Original lists milk ingredients and soya lecithin; M&S Double Devon Toffees carry a warning for children under 36 months. | Before sharing with guests or children, I need to check that the particular sweet is suitable for them. |
| Portion information | Compare the nutrition information per bar or piece, not just the pack size. Sainsbury’s lists 15.6g total sugars per 31g Toffee Crisp bar; a multipack label is not a nutrition judgement. | I want to know the size of the sweet I am serving. The NHS advises cutting down on sugary foods, including sweets and chocolate. |
Sainsbury’s Toffee Crisp x9 meets the separate-bar requirement, but its caramel and crisped cereal sit inside a chocolate-flavour coating. That changes what you would put on a cream-tea table.
Choose the sweet style first, then check whether that product also comes in the portion format you need.
M&S Double Devon Toffees are sold as a 300g product and Waitrose lists Werther’s Original in a 135g sharing pouch. Their wrapped pieces are not the same format as individually portioned bars.
If each lunchbox needs a separate portion, check the pack count and size or plan how many wrapped sweets to allocate.
Ingredients differ between these sweets. M&S also warns that Double Devon Toffees are unsuitable for children under 36 months because of choking risk.
Check ingredients, allergen information, age warnings and the best-before date on the pack before serving.
Multipack describes the packaging, not how often to serve the sweets. Sainsbury’s lists 15.6g total sugars in each 31g Toffee Crisp bar.

No. Sainsbury’s describes its Toffee Crisp x9 as individual bars with caramel and crisped cereal in a milk-chocolate-flavour coating. Choose that format for separate bars, not for traditional chewy toffee.
A counted pack of individually wrapped bars makes it straightforward to take one portion: Sainsbury’s Toffee Crisp x9 contains nine 31g bars. Individually wrapped M&S or Werther’s sweets can also be allocated, but their bags are not counted bar multipacks.
