- Tim Tam Chewy Caramel was easily one of the best chocolate biscuits we have ever had. We completely understand why they are so popular in Australia. Grab some if you can.

The white chocolate Tim Tams are also awesome.
Also, keep them in the fridge and then do the Tim Tam Slam! It's a must!
Well give that a try. Thanks!
They're alright, yeah. Original is still the best.
You cant go wrong with a Tim Tam Slam with a nice hot coffee. 😎
Derek loves coffee and we are already planning a new video with the original Tim Tam.
@@rick_thunder Make sure you put them in the fridge first - either the original, but better to use the double coated version for the slam.
@@nightberg1971 We just recently heard about the double-coated version. We will definitely keep our eyes open for that one.
@@rick_thunder Stuff the coffee, you use Port instead. It will make your knees tremble.
You're the first Americans that I've heard pronounce caramel properly! And referring to a 'biscuit '! Fantastic! I love Tim Tams. There are so many different flavours, including Murray River salted caramel and dark chocolate with chili. What a shame you can't get them easily. Mint slice is one of my favourite Arnott's biscuits. Kingstons are another crunchy biscuit with a hazelnut cream filling. If you ever come across Anzac biscuits, do try them. They aren't a fancy biscuit, but the recipe, history and the name date back over a century to WWI
@suemoore984 Thank you for the compliment. As much as possible we try to use the correct words for that country. I love saying “biscuit.” And thank you for the recommendation on the Kingstons and Anzac biscuits. And thanks for watching. We appreciate it!
Try the original tim tam, the best. I find that the caramel tim tams and whatnot to be a bit too sweet.
Then again, he still pronounced it as caraMEL, which is American and not how we Aussies say it at all as CARamel..
@@twoflyinghats He did say caramel wrong. It's caram'l, not caramell.
@@twoflyinghats now you’ve got me analyzing how I pronounce this word. 😀
Never knew that they're named after an American race horse!! But have always known they are the best biscuits ever! Chewy caramel is great, but nothing beats the original!
We found a box of the originals just today. We will be filming it in the next couple of days. Thanks for watching and cheers.
My friend brought the original back from Oz. I tried them and didn't care for them, but I imagine I'd like them way more with caramel.
@@forgingstrength6119 the caramel ones were so good. But we just got some of the original ones and will be filming that soon.
geeeez Mate you get around lol
@@sammy_dog haha me? I guess 😂
Do a Tim tam slam. Bite a small hole in each end use it as a straw to suck up your hot coffee*. Once biscuit is saturated you have about three seconds to get the whole Tim tam in your mouth.
*Hot chocolate, milk or vodka is also acceptable
That sounds amazing. We are trying to get some more Tim Tams and will definitely try this. Thanks for watching!
@@rick_thunderbest done with the original flavour, since some fillings don't melt in the best way!
Double choc Tim Tams straight out of the fridge is puuuuurfect! Sh*t's all over Oreos
We are definitely putting the next ones in the fridge. We still like Oreos, but we also love Tim Tams. Cheers and thanks for watching.
Oreos aren't even good. They're full of crap.
@@surfer-lc3nz oh, that one hurts, 😀. We love Tim Tams and Oreos. But, that’s alright. Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy our other videos.
@@rick_thunder Well, it shouldn't hurt, because I am warning you that Oreos are full of crap. They have more crap in them than Tim Tams. Eat Oreos at your peril, they will send you to an early grave.
Well I’ve been Australian my whole life and have eaten Tim tams for 50 years and your son taught me something I didn’t know! I never knew why they were called Tim Tams!! Thank you! Up next.. Vegemite ! 😂
We are definitely planning a Vegemite episode. We are both a bit nervous, but always willing to try something new. Thanks for watching!
@@rick_thunder Careful with Vegemite. I see so many apply it like it's peanut butter. Think of a "thin" smear on buttered toast/bread. Then half as much of the smear as you were thinking (It's a strong somewhat salty taste). Possibly have a piece of cheddar handy to have a bite with, or a slice of cheddar on the bread with the vegemite. (Cheese and vegemite sandwiches are a staple. Just vegemite is more often a toast thing.)
@@Jus7aguy thanks for the information. We will be careful with vegemite.
Fun Fact: Timtam's only became available in Denmark when the Queen asked the future princess about things she might get home sick for. Timtams were mentioned as one of the things that made life worth while and Timtans were made available to all Danes, including the princess, by order of the Queen.
Wow! Well, we think they should be available everywhere. I may borrow this fun fact for the next video. Thank you.
it's cool having our own personal Queen Mary lol
We now have so many Americans hooked on Aussie snack food that Amazon sells them.
We are definitely looking for more Aussie snacks foods at our local import shop. Thanks for watching!
As an Australian i absolutely love Tim Tams!!!!!!!!!!!! you should try the Tim Tam Slam
Yes, we plan on doing the Tim Tam Slam in an upcoming video.
@@rick_thunder Hell yeah brotha!!!!!!!!
Th United Airlines cabin crews would always be carrying a big Woolies shopping bag full of packets of Tim Tams on their return flight to the US.
That is so cool.
Straight from the Arnott's website, The Tim Tam milkshake:
6 Original Tim Tam Biscuits (4 for milkshake, 2 for decorating)
2 cups of milk
2 tbsp chocolate sauce
4 scoops vanilla ice cream
Whipped cream
Preparation
Step 1
Place chocolate sauce in a shallow bowl or saucer. Dip rim of your glass into the sauce and then into extra crushed Tim Tam.
Step 2
In a food processor, pulse 4 Tim Tam biscuits until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add ice cream and milk and blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Top with whipped cream and extra Tim Tam biscuits to garnish. Serve immediately.
If you want a kick add fresh coffee, preferably espresso, a shot of kahlua or your favourite alcoholic mixer.
This sounds amazing. We will have to give that a go!
@@rick_thunder If you do, you have to record and post the experience. Either way, enjoy!
Dark Chocolate with Mint Tim Tams - my weakness.
We hope to find some on our next trip to the import shop. We both love dark chocolate and mint! Thanks for watching.
dark choc mint flavor a 10
Thanks for the recommendation. We love dark chocolate and mint. Thanks for watching!
@@rick_thunder you'll eat the pack in one go
TOTALLY agree!
These sound good!
There is about 10 Tim Tam flavours. All of them are good
Some YEARS ago , Arnott's sold out the the US giant, Campbells, they biscuits havent been the same quality since.
Thanks for that information. And thanks for watching!
For the originals, bite the corner off each diagonal corner and use it as a straw to drink a cup of coffee 😁
Thank you. We did exactly that and just put out our Tim Tam Slam video yesterday. Please check it out.
Double dipped Tim Tams are the best Caramel Tim Tams are good too 😋 But you can't have them they are ours, lol 😊
Double Dipped?! You have my attention. We will keep our eyes open for that. Thanks for the tip. And thanks for watching!
Some say keep them in the fridge. I say and do, put them in the freezer.
Also Arnott's is an Aussie brand which was purchased by American investors some years back. Could be wrong, but it may have been Campbell's.
I believe it was Campbell’s, which is then owned by KKR & Co., which is an American investment firm. We are definitely putting the Tim Tams in the fridge. Thanks for watching!
At least nine different varieties, picked a packet up the other day and made a note of how many were on the shelves.
Wow, that is a lot. We look forward to trying them all!
Run file. Run.
Arnotts make TimTams for the US market but they taste very different
Thanks for the tip. We’ve only ever seen the Australian version at import shops. Thanks for watching!
They look a bit melted I thinking your in Florida ya should have put them in the fridge, glad you enjoyed them.
We were on holiday in Florida and did not have a chance to put them in fridge. We recently found the original flavor and they are definitely going in the fridge for the next video. Thanks for watching.
I like the original and the white chocolate but I’d never knock back any of the Tim Tam range.
We just did a video with the original flavor. It came out this past Friday where we also did a Tim Tam Slam. Thanks for watching.
I'm Australian and I think they're ok at best.
We have one in the US called “Almond Joy” that people either love or hate. I’m in the latter group. Thanks for watching!
Your Un-Australian
I am an Aussie and like Ross, I never eat them.
@@petermcculloch4933 That’s alright. 😁We hope you keep watching our videos. Cheers.
Freeze them lol Not sure if you can do them as Tim Tam Slam with them.
We are willing to give they a try. That’s a great idea, thank you. Hope you keep watching.
@@rick_thunder Sorry it was 2 different things.. One Freeze them is nice. Second, try them as a Tim Tam Slam, but they have caramel and that might not work as good as the originals. . lol The original Tim Tams are 11 in a pack, better value but just Chocolate flavour. Enjoy!!
@@Mav_F we just got some of the originals yesterday and we are already planning our next video.
Tim Tam slam works with frozen biscuits
@@suemoore984 thanks. We will keep that in mind.
Try them from the fridge...
Next time we definitely will. Thanks for the advice! Tim Tams were so good.
In summer I put them in the freezer.
We are doing the same thing. So much better. Thanks for watching.
I prefer the British Mcvities.
I don't like Oreo's too much coloring which makes everything black 😊
Tim Tam's get a bit chewy in the fridge not good for resin fillings .
Honest review.
Thank you. We always value honest reviews. Thanks for watching.
If you come to Australia you might not want to go home.
I believe it. Australia sounds like an amazing place. I have a couple of friends who have been there and they loved it. Thanks for watching. Cheers.
Tim tam slam! Tim tam slam!
We’re working on making that video soon. We love the idea of the Tim Tan Slam.
Please do a Tim Tam slam......mmmmm
Well do our best to get some more Tim Tams here where we live.
Should have started with the original Tim Tam then moved into the others. The slam, used as a straw, is best with Australian coffee, nothing like what Americans call coffee.
We definitely wanted to start with the original flavor, but the import shop did not have them. Although we found some of the original recently and will be filming this weekend. Thanks for watching!
With the original Chocolate timtam take a small bite off opposite corners (only 2 corners)Thenput one corner in a cup of Coffee or Hot Chocolate and suck it through the Timtam.
We are definitely working on doing a Tim Tam Slam video. We hope to film it soon.
Our chocolate is way better than American chocolate
So far, we love Australian chocolate. Do they seek the Ghirardelli brand in Australia? That’s an American chocolate company out of San Francisco that makes amazing chocolate. Thanks for watching.
@@rick_thunder I never heard of Ghirardelli & never seen it any stores here but we do have Hershey but only in a small area on the shelf as American chocolate isn't that great.
@@kerriemccoy1647 I agree with you that Hershey is not great. It’s the most popular chocolate brand in the U.S. but even Americans know that it is of average quality. The reason it is so popular is because it is the most affordable. The high quality brands are far more expensive, and therefore, have smaller groups of customers. High quality brands would be Dove, Godiva, See’s, and Ghirardelli. But these are probably not sold outside the U.S.
@@rick_thunder We did have Dove chocolate but I haven't seen that chocolate around for years & that was nice chocolate. I know Cadbury in America is made by Hershey, I wonder why it tasted different when I bought it when I was in America.
@@kerriemccoy1647 I do not know this for sure, but Hershey’s probably uses their own chocolate for the Cadbury brand in America.
Arnott’s is pronounced Arnett’s. You need to try a Tim Tam Slam.
Thanks for that tip. We always want to make sure we pronounce things correctly. And we have the Tim Tam Slam in the works. Thanks for watching!
@@rick_thunder Try the other flavours. I love Tim Tams but I also hate them cause once I start I can’t stop.
Try original. Bit off both ends then suck coffee through the biscuits and get a chocolate coffee RUSH
We just released our Tim Tam Slam video yesterday. Check it out. Thanks
I'm Australian and you are eating them wrong. Bite a hole in each end at opposite corners and Use like a Straw. 1 full glass of milk required.. We call them TimTam Bombs.. Must Try!!!
I think my brain just exploded. We will definitely have to try that next time.
Tim Tam slam
Tim Tam Slam, not bomb 🤦♂️ ..& it's WAY better & traditional with a hot Milo(another Aussie classic - a granulated chocolate drink) ...melts in your mouth
You cant wait to talk after sucking up the liquid, the biscuit will fall apart in your hand. So suck your straw and put the whole biscuit in your mouth, chew if you must, swallow, wait a second, then talk. This hint is for your benefit, or you'll have a nice mess. It does work better with hot liquid though, and the orignals are the best. Your caramel ones had melted and solidified again, so they were very misshapen. I could see that easily from your far view.
Nothing better than someone lecturing you on how to eat a biscuit ffs.....
