Australia’s famed Tim Tam chocolate cookies are coming back to the US!!
Earlier this year, Pepperidge Farm tested sales of Tim Tam cookies at Target stores and pulled the product off shelves at the end of March. Now, after months of missing Tim Tams here in the States, Pepperidge Farm is set to unveil the wonderful Australian cookie once again sometime in October.
The wait will soon be over and Tim Tam cookies will be had by all! Thanks Cecilia!

Haemin asked me if there were still Tim Tam cookies left at Target, and the answer is YES!
This picture was taken last night at Target as I went with Flo to grab more chocolate biscuits! Yum diddly yum yum yum!
Oh, and they are all on sale too!

It’s Tim Tam madness on Doobybrain.com this week!
News.com.au (I miss typing that) has a 45-page gallery (meaning, 45 images, paginated…) of the Arnott’s Tim Tam factory and it is amazing to see just how these chocolate treats get created.
If you really can’t stand the pagination, you can install this updated Repagination extension for Firefox 3+ and view the entire series on one page. Trust me, 45 clicks is too many to go through.

Flo brought over 4 packs of “America’s new favorite cookie” (I made that up, pay me if you use it) and I was able to compare the white US-package design to the brown-Australian package design.
The first thing you notice about the different Tim Tam packs is their color. I personally prefer the brown packaging because the cookies themselves are chocolate. I mean, the white packaging has the Tim Tam on the cover too, but the chocolate swirls on the Australian packaging are more salivating.
Other than the exterior packaging, the cookies are basically the same. They come in the same quantities per pack and are packaged inside in the exact same way. Anyway, to kick off the American launch of these babies, all Tim Tam cookies are currently on sale at Target. RUSH RUSH RUSH!

Lawrence tipped me off to a new shipment of authentic Australian Arnott’s Tim Tams at the Tuck Shop so I immediately went over to pick up a pack. As of about 8PM last night, there were still quite a lot left in the shop, but knowing the popularity of these chocolate biscuits, I wouldn’t wait too long to go get ‘em.
Also, I picked up a pack of these so that I could compare the packaging when I get the American versions from Target from Flo.

Arnott’s is sharing their famous Tim Tam recipe with their US sister-company Pepperidge Farm in hopes of getting Americans to love the chocolate cookie that Australians have been all over for the past 40 years. The Tim Tam packs in regular chocolate and caramel are to be sold exclusively at Target beginning November 2008 until March 2009.
I’m assuming that after March 2009, Campbell Soup Co., which owns Arnott’s and Pepperidge Farm, will take a look at how well the Tim Tam sales did and decide from there whether to make Tim Tam cookies a staple of American diets!
I cannot wait to go to my local Target to see if they’ve already got these in stock! The suggested retail price of each cookie pack is $3.39.
