Tim Tam Slam!!!!!!!!!!

So . . . Tanya introduced me to Tim Tams last week. I'm not going to lie and say that they are the most amazing cookie treat I've ever had, but they are pretty darn tasty. Definitely tasty enough to warrant a blog post. Everybody knows how much I love trying new food!

If you've been to Australia then you are probably already acquainted with Tim Tams. If not, Tim Tams are a chocolate covered cookie that are a big deal in Australia. Here are some Tim Tam Facts for you:

1. First marketed in Australia in 1964
2. Named after the 1958 Kentucky Derby winning horse
3. Around 35 million packs are sold each year – nearly 400 million biscuits, an average of approximately 1.7 packs per Australian
4. Now available in the U.S. (since November 2008) in three delicious Tim Tam flavors - original chocolate creme, caramel, dark chocolate
5. Marketed in the U.S. by Pepperidge Farm as "Australia's Favorite Cookie!"

Our very first TIM TAM SLAM!!!!!!! Apparently, the "thing to do" with Tim Tams is to bite off each end and then try to suck liquid through it. We tried it with hot chocolate and both failed. We have plans to try it again with milk after sufficient recovery time.

Doesn't make it any less tasty though
