About McVitie's Penguin Original
About McVitie's Penguin Original
If you grew up in Britain, the Penguin bar occupied a very specific spot on the school tuck shop shelf, right between things that were technically biscuits and things that were clearly just chocolate wearing a disguise. McVitie's Penguin Original has never really resolved that identity question, and honestly, nobody has asked it to.
Each bar is a chocolate flavour cream filled biscuit bar with a milk chocolate flavour coating, which is a very composed way of describing something that rarely makes it back to the kitchen. The 7 pack contains seven individually wrapped bars of 24.6g each, totalling 172.2g, which sounds like a reasonable week's supply until you open the box.
For British expats in Canada, Penguin bars are one of those things that tend to appear on a wishlist long before any other grocery. The Great British Shop stocks the genuine UK version, imported from the United Kingdom, so there is no need to wait on a suitcase or a parcel from a sympathetic relative.
McVitie's Penguin Original is suitable for vegetarians, which is worth knowing if you are building a British biscuit selection for a mixed household. Seven bars also makes it easy to share, though the historical evidence on that front is not especially encouraging.

Frequently asked questions about McVitie's Penguin Original
Q: What is a McVitie's Penguin biscuit bar actually like?
A: A Penguin bar sits comfortably between biscuit and chocolate without committing to either, which is part of the appeal. You get a chocolate cream filling sandwiched between two cocoa biscuit layers, all coated in a milk chocolate flavour coating. The result is sweet, a little crisp, and thoroughly familiar to anyone who grew up finding them in a packed lunch or a biscuit tin that was supposed to be for guests.
Q: Are McVitie's Penguin Original biscuit bars suitable for vegetarians?
A: Yes, McVitie's Penguin Original bars are suitable for vegetarians. The 7 pack contains milk chocolate flavour coating made with dairy ingredients including dried skimmed milk and butter oil, so they are not suitable for vegans. They also contain wheat, milk, and soya, and may contain tree nuts, which is worth knowing if you are buying for someone with allergies.
Q: Is the McVitie's Penguin 7 Pack sold in Canada the genuine UK version?
A: Yes, the McVitie's Penguin Original 7 Pack available in Canada is the genuine UK product, made in the United Kingdom. Each pack contains seven individually wrapped 24.6g bars, which is the same format British shoppers know from supermarket shelves back home. For people in Canada who remember Penguins from childhood, that is usually the whole point of seeking them out rather than settling for something vaguely similar.
More about McVitie's Penguin Original
McVitie's Penguin Original sits in a slightly unusual corner of the British biscuits category: individually wrapped, portion-sized, and built around a chocolate cream filling between two cocoa biscuits with a milk chocolate flavour coating. It is not quite a biscuit in the digestive sense, not quite a confectionery bar, and has never felt the need to explain itself further.
For Canadians who spent time in the UK, or who grew up in a British household, Penguin bars tend to sit near the top of the "things I cannot easily find here" list. That specific combination of format, flavour and wrapper is tied closely to school lunches and biscuit tins, which makes it genuinely hard to substitute with something else.
This is the 7 pack, with seven individually wrapped bars of 24.6g each, totalling 172.2g. The individual wrapping makes the pack reasonably practical: bars keep well stored in a cool, dry place, and the format suits a lunchbox or a desk drawer as well as it suits a biscuit tin. Suitable for vegetarians.
Penguin is part of a broad McVitie's range that spans digestives, Jaffa Cakes, Rich Tea and well beyond. The full McVitie's in Canada range is worth a look if you are restocking a British cupboard from scratch.
Orders ship from within Canada, so whether you are in Winnipeg or Calgary, there is no overseas parcel delay involved. Seven bars rarely last the week, but that is a separate problem.
