Choose a bag described entirely as white chocolate if that is the flavour you want: Cadbury White Chocolate Buttons are bite-sized, while Milkybar Giant Buttons are larger loose pieces. Cadbury Dairy Milk Twisted Buttons mix milk and white chocolate, and Lindt’s assorted mini truffles offer individually wrapped pieces but are not exclusively white chocolate. Check the exact pack for ingredients and allergens before sharing.
If you want loose pieces for a bowl beside the sofa, Cadbury describes its 100g White Chocolate Buttons as bite-sized. Milkybar’s 94g sharing bag is also white chocolate, but its buttons are described as giant rather than mini.
Loose buttons work for a shared bowl; individually wrapped truffles keep pieces separate. Decide whether everyone wants white chocolate before choosing a mixed button bag or an assorted truffle pouch.
Check the ingredient and allergen statement on the exact pack you will serve, particularly when choosing between buttons, filled truffles and wafer snacks. Do not assume that products with similar white-chocolate wording have the same ingredients.
Start with whether every piece must be white chocolate, then choose the piece format and check the pack information that matters to your group.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Chocolate mix | Check whether the whole bag is white chocolate or contains other varieties. Waitrose & Partners lists Cadbury Dairy Milk Twisted Buttons as 50% milk chocolate and 50% white chocolate; Lindt describes its 80g assorted mini pouch as containing Milk, White and Milk & White truffles. | I want every piece to be white chocolate, so a mixed or assorted bag would not fit. If variety is welcome, either format remains an option. |
| Piece size | Look for a description of the pieces, not just the word ‘mini’. Cadbury calls its White Chocolate Buttons bite-sized; Milkybar’s white-chocolate sharing bag contains giant buttons. | Small pieces I can pick up one at a time matter more to me than a larger button. Or I may be happy with giant buttons if loose pieces are the main requirement. |
| Sharing format | Choose between loose buttons and wrapped pieces. Lindt describes the truffles in its 80g assorted mini pouch as individually wrapped; check the packaging of any other truffle product rather than assuming the same format. | A bowl of loose buttons suits casual sharing. If I want pieces kept separate, I will check that the particular pack says they are individually wrapped. |
| Ingredients | Read the current ingredient and allergen statement for the exact product before serving it. Check mixed bags and filled or wafer products on their own labels rather than relying on another product in the same range. | Someone sharing the snack needs an ingredient check, so the label on the pack matters more than the flavour name on the front. |
| Serving information | Check what a nutrition figure covers: a serving, a stated number of pieces or 100g. Waitrose & Partners lists 163kcal and 15.70g sugars per 15 pieces of Milkybar Giant Buttons; use a like-for-like basis when comparing products. | I want to know what the stated serving represents before using a figure to choose between bags with different piece sizes. |
Cadbury Dairy Milk Twisted Buttons combine milk and white chocolate, while Lindt’s assorted mini pouch includes Milk, White and Milk & White truffles. Neither is an all-white selection.
If every piece needs to be white chocolate, choose a product described as white chocolate throughout and confirm its composition on the pack.
Cadbury describes its White Chocolate Buttons as bite-sized, Milkybar sells giant buttons, and Lindt’s assorted mini truffles are wrapped pieces. Those descriptions point to different ways of serving and sharing them.
Choose the format you actually want, and check piece size where the product description does not make it clear.
Buttons, truffles and wafer snacks have different compositions. A similar name or flavour does not establish that their ingredient statements match.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack before offering it to someone with an allergy.
The Department of Health and Social Care’s guidance on England’s HFSS retail rules concerns promotion and placement of specified products. Separately, Department for Education school-food guidance concerns food and drink provided in state-funded schools in England.
For a snack at home, choose on the product’s format, composition and label. If supplying food to a school in England, check the school-food requirements for that setting separately.

Consider these loose white-chocolate buttons for a shared bowl if larger pieces suit your TV-night snack. The pack is 100g and the title describes the buttons as giant; check their size if you specifically want minis, and read the current allergen label before serving.

Choose this 200g white-chocolate truffle option if you prefer truffles to buttons. Check the piece size and packaging before ordering if mini or individually wrapped pieces are essential; do not assume it has the same format as Lindt’s separate assorted mini pouch.

This 195g multipack is a wafer-finger alternative if an all-white chocolate button or truffle is not required. Check its composition and current allergen label before sharing; it should not be treated as an entirely white-chocolate snack.
No. Cadbury describes its White Chocolate Buttons as white chocolate, but Waitrose & Partners lists Cadbury Dairy Milk Twisted Buttons as 50% milk chocolate and 50% white chocolate. Lindt’s assorted mini-truffle pouch also includes Milk, White and Milk & White pieces, so check the composition if every piece must be white chocolate.
Choose loose buttons for a shared bowl, or a product explicitly described as individually wrapped if you want pieces kept separate. Lindt confirms wrapping for its 80g assorted mini-truffle pouch; check the packaging of other truffle packs individually.
Read the ingredient and allergen statement on the exact pack before serving it. Do not use the label of another button, truffle or wafer product as a substitute, even when both mention white chocolate.
No. The Department of Health and Social Care’s England-specific HFSS guidance addresses promotion and placement of specified products in affected retail settings, not a ban on buying chocolate for home use. School food is a separate matter: Department for Education guidance concerns food and drink provided in state-funded schools in England, and the Requirements for School Food Regulations 2014 define confectionery to include chocolate. Those England-specific provisions should not be treated as a single UK-wide rule for a home snack.
