For a smaller late-night share, the Milkybar Giant Buttons 94g bag is listed by Waitrose as approximately three servings; choose the Cadbury White Mega Buttons 192g pouch if you want more chocolate by net weight. Both listed products contain milk, and Cadbury also lists soya, so check the current pack before serving either to guests with allergies or intolerances.
Who is sharing?
A small group after supper
If you want a compact bag to pass around, Waitrose lists the Milkybar Giant Buttons 94g bag as approximately three servings. Check whether that stated amount fits the people sharing rather than relying on the word “sharing”.
A group wanting a larger pouch
ASDA lists Cadbury White Mega Buttons as a 192g bag. Its greater net weight may be useful when a 94g bag would be too small, but the weight alone does not establish how many people it will serve.
Hosts checking allergens
The reviewed Cadbury bag lists milk and soya, while the reviewed Milkybar bag lists milk. If a guest has an allergy or intolerance, check the ingredients and allergen statement on the current pack before serving.
What should you check?
Start with the pack size and format that fit your supper, then check the exact product’s allergen and nutrition information before buying.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
| Pack size |
Compare net weights in grams. Waitrose lists Milkybar Giant Buttons at 94g and approximately three servings; ASDA lists Cadbury White Mega Buttons at 192g, without a comparable serving count. |
I want enough to pass around after supper without choosing a pouch larger than the occasion calls for. |
| Allergens |
Read the current pack’s ingredients and allergen statement. The reviewed Cadbury bag lists milk and soya; the reviewed Milkybar bag lists milk. |
If I am serving someone with an allergy or intolerance, I need to check the exact bag rather than assume white chocolate is suitable. |
| Nutrition |
Check the quantity used for each nutrition figure before comparing labels. ASDA lists 4.2g saturates per 24g serving for Cadbury White Mega Buttons; figures based on a different portion are not directly comparable. |
I want to understand what a labelled portion represents, particularly if people will take different amounts from the bag. |
| Pack format |
Confirm that the product is a bag or pouch if you want loose chocolates to pass around. A bar or truffle box serves a different presentation preference. |
A bag suits my informal supper; I would consider a box only if that change of format works for the occasion. |
Common buying mistakes
-
Assuming every “sharing” bag is the same size
The reviewed bags differ in net weight: Cadbury White Mega Buttons is 192g, while Milkybar Giant Buttons is 94g. The word “sharing” does not tell you how many portions a bag contains.
Compare the weight with the number of people at supper, and use a stated serving count only for the product that actually provides one.
-
Assuming white chocolate avoids milk or soya
The reviewed Cadbury bag lists both milk and soya; the reviewed Milkybar bag lists milk. That difference matters when buying for guests with allergies or intolerances.
Check the current pack of the exact product before serving it. Do not use the chocolate type as a substitute for its allergen statement.
-
Treating an online listing as the final label
Ingredients and nutrition information can change, and figures stated for different serving sizes do not make a like-for-like comparison.
Use listings to narrow your choice, then read the pack you receive. When comparing nutrition, check whether the figures are per 100g or per stated portion.
-
Choosing a box when you need a pass-around bag
Lindt’s UK white-chocolate range includes truffle boxes and bars. Those formats may not suit a supper where guests expect to share loose buttons from a pouch.
Choose the packaging format first, then compare products within it; consider a truffle box if a box suits your plans.
Relevant brand references
These references cover particular products or ranges, not every white-chocolate product sold under each name.
Cadbury
ASDA lists Cadbury White Mega Buttons as a 192g white-chocolate bag for sharing.
- The 192g net weight gives you a larger bag than the reviewed 94g Milkybar option.
- The reviewed product lists milk and soya. ASDA gives its saturated-fat figure per 24g serving, so check the serving basis when comparing labels.
Milkybar
Waitrose lists Milkybar Giant Buttons as a 94g white-chocolate sharing bag with approximately three servings.
- The stated serving count helps with planning a small share.
- The reviewed bag contains milk. Waitrose also warns that children under four may choke on small sweets.
Lindt
Lindt’s UK white-chocolate collection includes truffle boxes, bars and gifts, including a 200g LINDOR White Chocolate Truffles Box.
- A boxed truffle format offers a different way to put white chocolate on the table.
- A box or bar is not the same format as a loose sharing bag; check the specific product if the packaging matters.
M&S
M&S has a chocolate-sharing-bag range, with products shown according to the selected local Foodhall.
- Its local range can be checked when shopping for a bag format.
- Check the current local listing and ingredients for a specific white-chocolate bag rather than assuming every sharing bag contains white chocolate.

Questions about sharing bags
Which bag suits a small late-night supper?
Milkybar Giant Buttons 94g is the smaller of the two reviewed bags, and Waitrose lists it as approximately three servings. Check that the amount suits your group and that its milk ingredient is suitable for everyone sharing.
Which option has a larger net weight?
ASDA lists Cadbury White Mega Buttons at 192g, compared with Waitrose’s 94g Milkybar Giant Buttons bag. That establishes a pack-weight difference, not how many servings the Cadbury bag will provide.
Can I serve either bag to someone with a milk or soya allergy?
Do not serve either reviewed bag to someone avoiding milk: both listings declare it. The reviewed Cadbury bag also lists soya. Check the current physical pack of the exact product before serving it to anyone with an allergy or intolerance.
Should I compare the bags’ nutrition figures per serving?
Compare figures only when their stated quantities are alike. ASDA gives Cadbury White Mega Buttons’ saturated-fat figure per 24g serving; check each current pack for its own per-portion or per-100g basis before drawing a comparison.
Could a white-chocolate truffle box work instead?
Yes, if a box fits the way you want to serve supper. Lindt’s UK range includes white-chocolate truffle boxes, but a box is a format change rather than a like-for-like sharing-bag choice.
