Behold the Tim Tams! Few know the power they hold!
Ok so they might not be THAT great but they are really, really good. Hears the scoop. Tim tams are an Australia chocolate cookie. You have to try one to really know what there like because if someone tries to explain what it is most think of a kit kat and it's no where close. So, It's not really the cookie that is amazing, it's what you can do with them. It's called a Tim Tam Slam. You need a mug of hot chocolate and Tim Tam. Bite off opposite corners of the Tim Tam and use it as a straw to drink the hot chocolate. This will only work for a second or so because the whole inside of the cookie will melt and that is when you shove the whole think in your mouth. The chocolate overload is amazing BUT my favorite is to get the Tim Tams with the Carmel in them. That way after all the chocolate has melted away in your mouth your left with a yummy lump of Carmel! YUM! Australian chocolate is made with a lot less wax then our good old chocolate here in the USA so it melts faster and that's what makes this sooooo good. But why am I telling you all of this? It's because Scott and I have made it a Christmas eve tradition to do Tim Tam Slams and in the past we have always gotten them from a restaurant called Aussie Eats in Idaho Fall, but they went out of business. So doing a little googling I found that to get them sent here is very EXPENSIVE! BUT, Pepperidge Farm has teemed up with the makers of Tim Tams to get them in to target stores from Nov.-March. Of course MY target does not have them, at least not yet. The only drawback I can see is that they are not the originals from Australia, they are made in the USA by Pepperidge Farm and I hope they have stuck to the original as much as possible. So if you are in a target store soon go on over to the cookies and get some Tim Tams. Even if you don't understand how to do a Tim Tam Slam try them anyway!
