I had my first Tim Tam Slam yesterday night and it was absolutely delicious!

Tim Tam is “Australia’s favorite chocolate biscuit”! A Tim Tam Slam is also known sometimes as a Tim Tam Suck, Tim Tam Explosion, Tim Tam Orgasm, Tim Tam Straw, Shot-gunning a Tim Tam, Tim Tam Party, or just Tim Tamming. More about it here.

Here’s a video demonstration of what doing the Tim Tam Slam is like.

Here’s how a Tim Tam Slam works:

• Open Tim Tam pack
• Brew coffee, tea, or something hot
• Bite off a small portion of each end of the Tim Tam (you can do corners or the whole end)
• Dip one end of the Tim Tam into the hot beverage and suck like you would if it were a straw
• As soon as the drink hits your mouth and you feel the Tim Tam begin to melt, shove the whole treat into your mouth and eat!

I guess the Tim Tam Slam is very much like America’s obsession with dunking our Oreo cookies in milk. Although I would say that the pleasure of eating a Tim Tam is much more rewarding, I still wouldn’t give up that rich creamy filling of Oreo cookies. Never. :)
