Penguins, the biscuit not the bird!

Opening the school lunch box the first thing I looked for was the Penguin, normally hidden behind a piece of fruit, these chocolate biscuits were defiantly my favourites as a child. And now several years later they are still a mainstay in my lunch box.

Described on the packet as a milk chocolate covered biscuit bar filled with chocolate cream, and sold in multi packs of 9, 18 or 27. These bars are great for a mid morning snack with a cup of coffee. If you like to dunk you biscuits try this, bite off one corner then the opposite corner; dunk the penguin in your coffee and suck.

Priced at around 90p for a pack of nine and around £2.30 for a pack of 27, and frequently cheaper when on special these offer value for money. Manufactured by McVitie’s.

Recently I noticed Penguins are now available in orange and mint flavours, I was curious so I had to try, buying a pack of 27, nine of each of the flavours. And the result of my curiosity, the orange flavour was ok nothing special but quite pleasant, not to heavy in the orange flavour. As for the mint flavour, I’m not a fan of mint chocolate and this didn’t change my opinion. And when dunked neither really had the same taste of the original.

Overall a tasty little biscuit, great for the lunch box and for dipping in coffee, a word of warning each biscuit has a joke printed on it, try to avoid reading these!!

Summary: Great snack for lunch time or with coffee
