From the cook:

You can’t have an anniversary party without party favors! Since the penguin cake was actually a gift from their daughter, I decided to make my cousins some penguin cookie party favors for all the guests. Many penguins mate for life (though some just seasonally, I learned), so I though a pair of penguins in each bag would be perfect with the anniversary theme. I happened upon an inexpensive penguin cookie cutter that made this project a whole lot easier. Black, white, and orange royal icing, lemon-vanilla sugar cookies, and labels handmade by the kids, and I was in business. (link)

These led me to penguin chocolates, of which there are an enormous number of different types, some elegant:

Chocolate Penguins from L.A. Burdick Handmade Chocolates

Combining fun with good taste, these flightless tuxedoed birds of Antarctica are made of hand-piped dark chocolate and lemon ganache, have almond wings and are dressed in dark chocolate, accented with white. Chocolate and penguins have never been so popular. Here you get both. Enjoy! (link)

And there are many silly and “cute” chocolates, like these peanut butter-filled numbers:

Chocolate Penguins filled with peanut butter. These candy penguins are too cute to eat! There are 3 wrapped penguins per box. Each chocolate penguin stands 3″ tall. Made in the USA by RM Palmer Company (link)

Penguins are versatile.
