Oh.... sorry not mars lion, don't know what I was thinking
although that would be nice... we should contact mars. I'm disappointed I don't have any inDon't think I'll be having the white choc lion now anyway... think syns will be choc philli (6) either melted onto some forest fruits or on syn free pancakes with forest fruits depending on how hungry I'm feeling, a hot choc with marshmallows (4) and the dip from graze (either 1.5 or 2.5 depending on whether boyfriend decides he's sharing)

Omg I love white lions! I discovered them in Bulgaria and can't find them anywhere over here :-(

I've only ever seen them in my fruit shop (yeah I know that doesn't make sense) so whenever I go in and see them I can't help but pick them up. They're 4 for a £1 and smaller then normal lion bars so only work out at 10.5 syns. If you have any independent little grocers or shops near you it might be worth just having a nose in.

Ooo great. Might have a browse when I nip down town later. We have a few if those pop up shops which appear as quick as they vanish so will see in there. Thanks
Hope you find some, if not hopefully you'll see something else interesting
