    Copycat Lion Bars

    Published: Jun 5, '22 · Modified: Aug 21, '23 · By: Beth Klosterboer · Commission earned on paid or sponsored links.

    If you fell in love with Lion Bars on your last trip to England but can't find them where you live, don't fret, you can make the caramel-coated vanilla wafer cookies covered in milk chocolate and crispy rice cereal candy bars at home.

    A Lion Bar is a mashup of a Kit Kat Bar and a Nestle Crunch Bar with caramel thrown into the mix to make the chocolate bar taste even better!

    These candy bars take a bit of time to make but are so worth the effort.

    You'll start by making homemade caramel and coating vanilla wafer cookies in the caramel.

    Then, you dip the caramel-coated cookie into milk chocolate that's mixed with Rice Krispies.

    The candy bars are crispy and crunchy and gooey and creamy all at the same time. There are so many flavors and textures. It's like a party for your mouth!

    I created this recipe for Dixie Crystals and you can see the recipe on their website.
