The Ultimate Aussie Souvenir- Why you won't be able to live without Tim Tams after a trip Down Under!
I discovered Tim Tams in my early days at Down Under Endeavours. Since we are all forbidden to return to work after a trip to Australia unless we have a fresh supply of these yummy chocolate biscuits, our office is rarely without.
No trip to the South Pacific is complete without sampling these amazing cookies. They come in a many delicious chocolate varieties: orange, dark, chili, raspberry, and double (my person favorite) just to name a few. For those of you who don’t mind getting a bit messy, the best way to consume these little treats is the famous “Tim Tam Slam,” which basically consists of biting off either end of the Tim Tam, dipping one end in the tea and sucking the warm liquid through the biscuit. The goal is to get the Tim Tam fully in your mouth before it dissolves into a sticky pool of chocolate. YUM!
Part of the joy of traveling is discovering a local treasure, especially when they are virtually impossible to find anywhere else! Tim Tams are definitely one of these. Ask any Australian and they will proudly tell you how much they love this biscuit (and don’t even get them started on Cherry Ripes). So, when you travel to the South Pacific, make sure you pick up some of these lovely cookies to take home with you and share with your family and friends. (but keep a secret stash for yourself)!
