It is a type of chocolate sold in Brazil. The shape is unique. Does anybody know of any other trade name I can use that would be widely know in English?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: But we normally say "cat's tongue", and phrased as "cat tongues" sound's like an odd way to say it, because it is such a well-known name for certain biscuits and confectionary. / Of course the evidence is not against us, in the UK we say "cat's tongue" .

I find it odd as well, but the fact of the matter is that the evidence is against us.

You are right, I forgot to check the box for non-pro. Thank you for your contribution to the discussion.

e.g. "Cat's tongue cookies are sweet and crunchy."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_tongue
Thank you for your suggestion.
In the second it's a tradename, and should be left in Portuguese with a translation in brackets if necessary. http://www.kopenhagenusa.com/lingua-de-gato.
I'm not sure about the first one - it's possible this is also the tradename but they've omitted the initial capitals.
