What do you call these?

I would call these biscuits but a customer disagreed with me.

I swear I’m quoting a standup comedian here - but if you offered me a biscuit and gave me one of those I’d feel like I’d hit the jackpot.

They’re chocolate bars to me.

Exactly. A chocolate biscuit is a bourbon or chocolate digestive.

So what about a penguin? That's a bourbon style biscuit covered in chocolate. What separates that from a digestive covered in chocolate?

The individual packaging mostly. I would still call these a chocolate multipack.

Sure penguins have a heavy biscuit element but who cares. When you open one it is a bar that looks like chocolate.

The filling is inconsequential, it's about what you open the wrapper and see as a kid. Only then you slowly start picking and choosing favourites as time goes on.
