McVitie’s Penguin Bar (Morrisons) By @Cinabar

This McVitie’s Penguin Bar is a penguin-shaped chocolate bar from Penguin, who usually make biscuit bars. I’d say that was confusing, but to be honest, after their sideways offering of Penguin salt and vinegar crisps, this feels a lot more on brand! Arguably, this is what everyone who has ever bought a pack of Penguin biscuit bars hoped they would look like. This, however, was sold as an individual chocolate bar rather than a whole new redesign.

I opened the wrapper and have to say this is a cute-looking bar. The smiling chocolate penguin made me smile too, as it’s a lovely design. Of course, I had to give it a try, and it was unmistakably Penguin biscuit bar flavoured. There’s the milk chocolate, which is nice and thick, with a decent layer of fondant-like filling. Mixed into this are biscuit balls, rather than a solid biscuit, but there are enough of them to add crunch and make the texture fun and interesting.

I really like this! It might not fit in my lunchbox in the same way as the regular bars, but it’s definitely something I’d pick up as an impulse buy for a little treat. I’d probably buy these more often than the regular biscuit bars, and certainly more often than the salt and vinegar crisps!
