Most of you are aware that chocolate is one of my weakness.
So you could imagine what happened when my friend francis bought these Tim Tams back from Australia. He went to Sydney and I made a special request to bring back this limited edition Tim Tams not available here:
and a fling was what i had. a passionate fling with me and my Tim Tams. It certainly was a dangerous liasion. I was literally popping Tim Tam after Tim Tam into my mouth. Sinful. And I did the Tim Tam slam with hot milo. Heaven. Must try it with coffee or milk next.
Anyway i enjoyed the chilli choc fling! i know what you must be thinking - no, it's not THAT spicy. It's kind of subtle. I actually tasted the sweetness of the chooclate cream first... then, the spicy tinge starts to creep up on your tastebuds. It's a change, but a lovely one. I totally dig these tim tams. Too bad I don't live in Australia. I could stock up on Tim Tams~ but that would mean a bigger sized me. Haha...

michie: oh man they have caramel ones as well? sounds really good! i also heard that they used to have irish cream ones.. do they still have them?
what an unusual combination - chilli with chocolate, will have to try it tho' I may end up eating the whole packet since my hubby doesn't like chilli at all other than in curry??
haha ya.. when i told my friends about these tim tams, most were skeptical. well but i'm an adventurous person and I'd say these are worth a try! hehe... i almost finished the whole packet actually. tim tams make me go weak in the knees! =p

they make a fabulous spicy hot chocolate!
Yeah, Tim Tams are great especially the ones directly from Australia. I tried the ones packed with alcohol and they were fantastic. Not had any chilli chocolate though but it sounds interesting.
I've tried these Tim Tams before too. And yah, the chilli taste is very subtle...in fact it kinda takes quite a while to kick in!
The blackforest ones are really good too! and the dark chocolate and the truffel! Oh they are all good :)
(and I can have them whenever I want! but I dont)
Hmmzz if u like the chilli tim tams ..
U should really try the white truffles temptations ... I lurve the white truffles ones and the tia maria ... best for milo dipping and definately on its own
hiyee... i jus had my first taste of the very same tim tams over the weekend!! what a coincidence - they were extremely yummy :) Nice post!
hii.. I absolutely adore timtams too, I actually ate a whole packet of timtam by myself one day and felt horribly guilty afterwards..and oh man, I love the candy empire, there have a whole range of candies and chocolates and cookies imported from Aussie..they are to die for..hah
thanks all with your recommendations! i wish i was in aussie-land right now...
clare: haha Oooo white truffle tim tam??? that i gotta try!
ahh yes tressa, i've heard of The Candy Empire. Apparently they have the tia maria ones too and alot of other varieties that can't be found at other shops in SG. man, i have to go there soon! hehee don't worry, i've also eaten an entire pack of tim tams before. once you start, you can't stop!
