Tim Tam

[wyocowgirl1]

My assistant did a cruise in the Navy and had Tim Tams in New Zealand and Australia. She really likes them and if someone would put some on the YDC, we would probably bid viciously on them.

Maybe some US sellers could list it......according to the article above.....
USA

Pepperidge Farm, a sister company of Arnott's, brought the Tim Tam to the United States in the fall of 2008, with select distribution of caramel and chocolate crème flavours in Target stores, exclusively but nationwide. At that time, Pepperidge Farm launched an online community site that allowed users to track the cookies' journey from Australia to U.S. stores. The product is still "Made in Australia".
In the fall of 2009, Pepperidge Farm announced that Tim Tam biscuits will be made available each year between October and March (although still available year round in some of the northern states), in various stores. The brand also premiered the Classic Dark flavour in the United States, in addition to extending distribution of Caramel and Chocolate Crème flavours to supermarkets and grocery stores across the country.
A 7-ounce/200g package contains 11 biscuits.
Tim Tams available from "Cost Plus World Markets" in the USA do not bear the name "Tim Tam" on the wrapper and are branded as "Arnott's Original".[8]

I was about to ask the same thing, what are they? Thanks, Vonz and HM.

Bows respectfully and exits, coffee and cats intact...

Best wishes for many sales to all,

Are Tim Tams the same or similar to our UK Bourbon Creams I wonder? Does anyone know?

[meebo1]

bourbon creams aren't covered in chocolate, I think

Reading the description on wiki.....they sound more like a smaller version of our Penguin...

You are perfectly right meebo, I hadn't spotted that.
