About MCVITIE'S, PENGUIN BAR, ORIGINAL
McVitie's Penguin Bar sandwiches a cocoa-flavored biscuit between layers of compound chocolate coating that blends cocoa butter, chocolate, skim milk, and several vegetable fats including palm and shea oils. The biscuit itself is wheat flour, sugar, palm oil, and glucose syrup. Net result: a sweet, moderately fatty treat that is mostly refined carbohydrates and sugar with little protein or fiber. It is a straightforward British-style chocolate biscuit snack - enjoyable but firmly in dessert territory.
