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.
