I don’t think young people ever had a tradition of deliberately giving their true love a single Tirol chocolate. Sadly…
Until just a little while ago, I was making chocolates to give my papa (a male supporter).
He was so happy with them last year, so this year I honed my chocolate-making skills (?) and made six different kinds of nama chocolate while following a pastry chef’s video. I even practiced the week before. I want to see the look of joy on my papa’s face.
If I didn’t have that motivation, I might just settle for Tirol chocolate.

I feel like there’s not enough information, but
if it was a “one-of-a-kind original chocolate—a decorated Tirol Chocolate,” then I think it was made with plenty of thought and care.

If it was just a regular Tirol Chocolate, though, I’d personally think, “Now that’s the spirit.”
If I received a Tirol Chocolate—the cheapest kind of chocolate—I’d start thinking, “For White Day, I want to give her some expensive chocolate in return. Maybe something topped with gold leaf?” and get all fired up.
But perhaps that kind of back-and-forth isn’t really your thing.
You have enough money to buy whatever chocolate you like whenever you want, so who cares what you receive?
It’s not like you’re a beggar.
If you really feel the need to reflect on this, reflect on the fact that the allowances you’d been giving were too low.
The allowance was too low, so there was nothing left over for chocolate.

Maybe he assumed that even if he gave the person asking the question a present, he shouldn’t expect anything in return.
If you don’t like receiving a Tirol chocolate, why not regularly give her gifts of comparable value yourself?
Personally, I’m limiting my carb intake, so I have no interest in Valentine’s chocolate.
That said, if a woman gave me a Tirol chocolate, I’d probably feel it would be better to receive nothing at all.

First of all, if he truly cared about you, he wouldn’t give you a tiny, cheap chocolate like that.
And just because you see each other every week doesn’t mean you’re his true favorite. You may want to rethink that assumption.
Maybe it was his silent way of saying, “Don’t get the wrong idea—you’re just my papa-katsu partner.”

Personally, I wouldn’t give a papa (a male supporter) I regularly see a Tirol chocolate.
If I were going to give him one, I might hand him the Tirol chocolate first to make him think, “Huh…?” and then give him a different present afterward.
By the way, I also prepare a gift other than chocolate for my monthly arrangement papa. It’s honestly really hard to decide what to give someone who can buy anything he wants, but I try to choose something that conveys how I feel.
Everyone is different, though, so I think it’s best to continue seeing someone only if you can do so without having expectations, while also putting some thought into choosing that kind of gift.

I can’t know their true intentions since only that person knows, but personally, that would be a no-go.
I do think the thought matters, but if you’re going to give someone something, a single Tirol chocolate just doesn’t cut it…
Then again, maybe—just maybe—they thought a box of chocolates would be a hassle to carry home, so with a Tirol chocolate, you could eat it right there. Maybe they felt they shouldn’t give you nothing and really wanted to give you something, so that’s what it ended up being… Maybe. Maybe not.
If you want to look at it positively, I suppose you could see it that way.
But perhaps it simply means you weren’t someone they genuinely felt happy receiving “just the thought” from.

Everyone’s tastes are different, so I don’t think there’s any one definitive answer.
That said, it’s unusual for a woman to give a prized partner a small piece of bargain chocolate, so I think your interpretation is probably right.
Personally, the only time I’ve received that kind of chocolate was when an independently owned restaurant handed one out to every customer at the register.
I’m sorry for your loss.
