Aldi brings back ‘it’s BEST chocolate’ for just 18p after shoppers moaned ‘we can’t find it anywhere’
A LARGER packet of Roar chocolate bars is now for sale at Aldi – leaving shoppers chuffed with a new option.
A big 13-pack of mini Roar bars can now be bought from the German supermarket giant for only £1.05 – working out at 18p each.
Roar bars are said to be a dupe of Lion bars and can be found in Celebration packs.
Others have said that a Roar is similar to a Picnic bar.
Lion bars are a favourite of Brits and The Sun ranked it as the 15th best chocolate bar available, so the Roar dupe will be widely loved as well.
Chocolate lover Samantha Brown was happy with the return of Roar bars in a post to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook where 2.4 million Brits look for the best deals.
She said: “This is why I love Aldi. They regularly bring out new tasty foods, snacks and treats.
“Its sad when something you love disappears but really nice to have something different in the weekly shop.”
The Sun ranked the Lion Bar as its 15 best chocolate bar available in 2019.
Others were also chuffed about the return of Lion.
One fan said: “We got these this week. They’re lovely.”
Another said: “I bought all 3. Jive, roar and dreemy.”
While a third said: “So can’t wait to try these. Not seen them in any of our stores yet!”
Others said they can’t get the Roar bars anywhere.
One shopper said: “They had this in my local store once then no more.
“I was so excited and every time since I went back they don’t have them everyone must of gone crazy over them and they probably run out of stock.”
Created by an experimental confectioner named Alan Norman in the 1970s, the Lion Bar was known as the Big Cat in some areas until the 1990s.
Several special editions of Lion have been launched, including the White Lion and Peanut Butter Lion.
Chocolate maker Nestle is discontinuing both Breakaway and Yorkie biscuit bars following a decline in sales in a blow for sweet-toothed fans.
Nestle had also only axed Caramac bars from shelves in November after being produced since the 1950s.
Last month, Cadbury announced the Spira chocolate bar will also stay off shop shelves for good.
The old-school treat was highlighted by a customer who asked the company if it was ever going to be coming back – and was politely told no.
