I was adjusting my brake levers Formula R1 and managed to snap one of the clamp bolts. Fortunately I was swapping my lock n grips at the same time so salvaged a bolt from the old grips though it appears to be a few millimetres shorter.

The question is the Formula R1 clamp bolts are known to be made from toffee, should I get a bolt set or should I get some titanium bolts. It all seems to hanging together perfectly well even after a recent crash where I rotated the brake lever around the handlebars.

Just after advise.

You should save yourself a small fortune. Find a local engineers/fixings & fasteners supplier, and pick up some stainless ones for around 20p each.
