Tim Tims from Australia

Tim Tams from Australia

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:

Chilli Choc Fling

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...

  9. 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.

  10. 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!
