This has been a LONG time coming and I am so excited for you all to see the new and greatly improved site. It should be a pretty seamless transition to the new design, but please bear with me if there are any hiccups or downtime along the way. Speaking of punchy style, SugarHero is about to get a MAJOR facelift! Like, within a week! Hang on to your measuring cups, ladies and gents, because this will be a huge change. (I busted out my loudest, most colorfully patterned cups and plates as a little shout-out to her style.) She is all about being fearless and having fun in the kitchen, and her blog’s bold colors and punchy graphic style really convey this. So, the recipe is down below if you want to tempt your own sweet teeth, and please go check out Sarah’s blog and her book if you want more great desserts. Because I’m powerless in the face of triple chocolate sandwich cookies, and I’m blaming it all on The Sugar Hit. And, you know how if you give a mouse a cookie, he’ll always ask for a glass of milk? Well, if you give this girl a Tim Tam, she’ll always ask for a second…and then a third. Small enough so that you think you’re not really having a whole dessert serving if you have one. The problem with these cookies, if there is one, is that they’re kind of petite. So even without tasting the original, I have no qualms about calling these The Best Tim Tams Ever. No way do commercial Tim Tams have the deep chocolate flavor, rich frosting filling, and crispy-creamy textural interplay that these homemade cookie sandwiches do. Two layers of light chocolate biscuit, separated by a chocolate & vanilla cream filling, then coated in. But these cookies are so gosh-darn-dagnabit-rootin-tootin good (pardon my language), I can’t believe there’s any mass marketed treat that can even come close. The Tim Tam Original is a true classic downunder. I’ve never had a Tim Tam, and despite making a special trip to Cost Plus World Market last week, I haven’t been able to track one down yet. If you’re thinking it sounds like chocolate overload-and thus, totally up my alley-you are absolutely right. Tim Tams are an Australian national treasure specialty, consisting of two chocolate cookies, sandwiched around chocolate-malt frosting, dipped in chocolate. Sarah’s Australian, so she has access to all sorts of fun junk food this poor American doesn’t have. Arnotts reports that Around 30 million packs are sold. So when Sarah offered me the opportunity to share a recipe from her book on SugarHero, she hadn’t even finished her sentence before I type-shouted, “YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES.” (Emailed conversations make it so much harder to enthusiastically interrupt people these days, am I right?) It was hard to decide what to make, and for a while I was leaning toward the dulce de leche crepes (om nom nom nom) but in the end, these ultra-chocolatey Homemade Tim Tams won out. Tim Tams are Australias favorite chocolate biscuit (chocolate coated Cookie with a creamy center). It’s just like Sarah’s blog-fun, colorful, cheeky, loaded with personality, full of whimsical desserts with big ideas and even bigger flavors. Now that your eyeballs have exploded from all of the delicious desserts Sarah posts on the regular, you can understand why I was so anxious to get my hands on her cookbook, which just came out a few weeks ago. Today is a verrrrrry exciting day, because I get to share a recipe from my new favorite dessert cookbook, The Sugar Hit! If you’re not already familiar with The Sugar Hit blog, head over there immediately-I’ll wait. These Homemade Tim Tams are an Australian specialty consisting of two chocolate cookies, sandwiched around chocolate-malt frosting, dipped in chocolate.

Three types of chocolate in one biscuit is more than any chocolate lover could wish for.Īccording to Arnott’s themselves, what makes the Tim Tam so special, and sets it apart from all the other chocolate biscuits out there, is the filling – this unique creamy richness is delicately made up from hints of butter, vanilla and, naturally, delicious chocolate, to give the whole delicious little biscuit a slightly caramel taste. ‘The most irresistible chocolate biscuit’! Each packet contains 11 Original Tim Tams, each biscuit consists of two layers of chocolate malted biscuit sandwiching a light creamy chocolate filling, all coated by a thin layer of textured milk chocolate.
