It's Australia's Favorite Cookie!

Today while I was walking through Target when I saw the most amazing site in the world.

Tim Tams!
I was first introduced to this delicious cookie when I was studying abroad in Australia a couple summers ago. They are made of two chocolate biscuits with a layer of chocolate creme in between and then covered with chocolate. Think glorified oreos. Mmmmm!

Anyway, thanks to the people at Pepperidge Farms, we Americans can finally enjoy this delicious treat without taking a trip down under.

The best way to eat a Tim Tam is by doing the "Tim Tam Slam." Basically, you use the cookie as a straw to soak up a hot beverage of your choice. Then you eat the soggy, chocolaty mess. It's very easy and tastes amazing, even though it may sound a little gross...

The Tim Tam Slam
1. Heat up a cup of water, tea, coffee, or milk... it needs to be pretty hot, but not necessarily boiling
2. Bite off two opposite corners of the cookie
3. Hold one corner (the part you bit off) of the cookie in your mouth and put the other end into the hot beverage
4. Use the cookie as a straw to suck up the hot beverage
5. As soon as you feel the liquid hit your lips flip your head back and let the cookie fall into your mouth
6. Enjoy the amazing taste of melted cookie and chocolate mixture!
