The much-loved Aussie chocolate is arriving on UK shores
One of Australia’s greatest exports, Tim Tams, is hitting UK shelves.
Anyone who’s been to Australia will probably come back and rave about the incredible scenery, the wildlife, the weather – and Tim Tams.
Launched in 1964 by biscuit company Arnott’s, the bars are a combination of a cream filling sandwiched between crunchy biscuit and all coated in silky chocolate.
The closest British comparison is probably the Penguin bar, but anyone who’s tried a Tim Tam is adamant they are far superior.
People will stuff their suitcases with the things, knowing they won’t be able to get their hands on the chocolate until they return down under.
Well, that won’t be the case for much longer, as the much-loved treats have arrived in the UK.
Waitrose & Partners and Ocado are stocking the chocolate biscuit bars at £2.50 a pop.
Along with the originals, the Dark and Chewy Caramel flavours will also be available to buy.
Whilst the bars are delicious on their own, another popular way of eating them is known as the ‘Tim Tam Slam.’
This involves biting off the diagonal corners of the bar, before using the Tim Tam as a straw to slurp a hot beverage of your choosing through.
“Whilst Tim Tam is Australia’s favourite chocolatey biscuit, we know how loved this delicious biscuit is around the world,” said Tim Tam marketing manager Rebecca Chan.
She added that the confectionary are “now directly available in the UK for consumers to enjoy as a special treat or when catching up with family and friends.”
