So thanks to having an uncle who is a Pepperidge Farm distributor, my surprise Christmas gift to my family (especially Ang) was ruined. I was planning a trip down to World Market to buy Tim Tams - good thing I didn't go on Wednesday, like I almost did.
Pepperidge Farm is importing Arnott's Tim Tam cookies & distributing them under the Pepperidge Farm label via Target.
Seriously, if you haven't tried these amazing cookies - stop reading this right now. RUN to your nearest Target (or get in your car & drive) and buy some. You'll probably want 2 packages, because once you finish one package, you're going to wish you had more.
What are these Tim Tam thingys you ask? Well they are practically the national cookie of Australia (did anyone see 
"Beneath a smooth layer of irresistible chocolate fudge, between two layers of crispy biscuits, a mouthwatering layer of chocolate crème awaits."
After you get yourself a package or 2, eat a cookie & enjoy it just as it is. Then, do a Tim Tam Slam (watch the video for instructions) -you don't need coffee - just use hot chocolate or tea. Check out this site for recipes you can make with tim tams...tim tam cheesecake?!...yummmm
Pepperidge Farm says they'll only be selling tim tams for a limited time (WHAT?!?) so I think everyone needs to 1. email Pepperidge Farm & tell them to keep selling tim tams in the US FOREVER! 2. Buy lots of Tim Tams so Target & Pepperidge Farms will realize they sell well & they'll decide to keep selling them forever :-)
(you may want to click on that pic of Hugh in the hat)
OK so I clicked on your picture of the guy in the Brown hat....I thought I was going to get like a Tim Tam web site, but a full size picture of Hugh made me question my manliness...I tried not to look too long. He may end up on my desk top not quiet sure...lets not talk about this anymore.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see Australia.
I shall go to Target (in Orem) tomorrow and search out the Tim Tams.
ReplyDeleteWe ran to our local Target last night. They were on sale, so of course we had to get one of each flavor. And maybe they are already gone. mmmmmmmm......
ReplyDeleteoh ya, they are on sale 2 for $5. so you might as well buy 2 :-)
ReplyDeleteDave, put Hugh on Tangie's desktop - it won't be quite as obvious ;-)
Good idea but how do I explain the drool on her keyboard... OH Wait forgot about Edward Cullen... She's got a thing for him.
ReplyDeleteWOW a nearly life size Hugh Jackman on my computer! Yummy! Almost as good as a Tim Tam Slam!!
ReplyDeleteI will never forget my first Tim Tam in Brisbane. I thought I had died and gone to Aussie Heaven!
Dang it! Went to Target in Orem and all the Tim Tams (chocolate and caramel) were sold out. You haven't been down to UT Valley lately have you?
ReplyDeleteI've never tasted a Tim Tam and now I will probably obsessively check Target until they (hopefully) get a new shipment.
No, I haven't been in UT county lately. That's too bad they're all gone. Hopefully they get a new shipment in soon. Those darn RM's from Australia!
ReplyDeleteokay so i'm a looser with the worst memory ever or something? yesterday i was in Target and staring at this huge tim tam display thinking to myself "WHY" does this sound so familiar, I had this irresistible urge to by the lot because I knew SOMEONE wanted them.......then i just blew if off in the next second and kept shopping. In my defense however...dave read your blog entry to me and I didn't really put two and two together...yeah he reads me blog entries while i work LOL. I'm pathetic.
ReplyDeleteFunny. Oh well, lucky for you, if you really want to try them, you're a frequent Target shopper :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd how did I not notice I spelled Hugh "Jugh" in the post title? Thanks Aaron, no it wasn't on purpose.
Ok Abi, Annie and I saw the movie "Australia". We loved it! We love Hugh Jackman! We love TimTams! We love Australia! I think we shall move there! Just kidding!!
ReplyDeletewe got tim tams for christmas, man those are GOOD!
