Penguin is a chocolate sandwich biscuit with a chocolate flavoured coating, filled with chocolate flavour cream. It is produced by Pladis' manufacturing division McVitie's at their Stockport factory. Since 2025, the coating on the biscuits has been described as "chocolate flavour" because the amount of cocoa it contains has been reduced below the 20% minimum required to be called "chocolate".
