English Candy Review: Nestlé Lion Bar
posted by clake at 10:37 AM
The Lion bar came as part of our recent English Tea Store order, and is another strong competitor. At its center, the Lion bar contains a thick wafer, like that in a Kit Kat. This wafer is filled with tasty caramel, coated with a Rice-Crispies-like cereal and then covered in milk chocolate. It tastes about as you would expect from the description, by which I mean fantastic. There's a sort of rich undertone to the whole experience that I can't adequately describe: It's rather like coffee, or perhaps it is better to describe it as "toasty". I'm not even sure whether to attribute this element of the flavor to the caramel or to the other ingredients, but the overall effect is to give the bar a complexity that I like very much. I honestly wonder why the Lion hasn't made it into the American market, though I suppose our own candy shelves are rather saturated with a variety of colorful wrappers and crazy names as it is.
