It’s how we’ve been secretly devouring our favourite treat, but now the much-loved, closely guarded ritual of morning and afternoon tea is going public.

If you’re already privy to the decadent and delicious world of Tim Tam biscuits and their side gig as an edible straw, keeping it under wraps will no longer be possible with the launch of this limited edition Tim Tam range, made especially for the widely adored, highly addictive “bite, sip, slam” experience.

Enter Tim Tam Slams.

Due to popular demand, Arnott’s has released a trio of choc-gooey goodness aptly named Tim Tam Slams: Choc Malt & Sticky Caramel, Choc Hazelnut & Gooey Caramel and Dark Choc & Sticky Raspberry; each created to take the original “bite, sip, slam” pastime to a whole new level of taste and texture.

What is the Tim Tam Slam? While some say practise is key, experiencing a true Tim Tam Slam is all about the imperfection: sticky fingers, gooey chocolate, melted malt and cream biscuit at the bottom of your coffee cup…

However, there are simple steps to be followed to truly lose yourself and experience the Tim Tam Slam flavour bomb.

How to do a Tim Tam Slam:

  • Bite corners off diagonal ends of a Tim Tam Slam.

  • Dip one corner into a warm or chilled beverage of choice, gently (or not so gently) sipping the liquid through as if it were a straw.

  • Slam the warm, gooey biscuit in your mouth before it melts completely in your hands.

The innovative new flavours have been specifically designed with gooey cores to create a flavour explosion and they pair well with warm beverages such as tea, coffee and hot chocolate – making for the ultimate, never-before-experienced, Tim Tam Slam.

New Zealand Woman’s Weekly staff were recently introduced to the new range and indulged in what has been one of New Zealand’s favourite, yet closely guarded, secrets.

Lifestyle Director Penny Lewis says, “I do love a Tim Tam and cup of tea, but the Tim Tam Slams take a cuppa and chocolate treat to the next level. I wouldn’t say I was a natural with my first bite, sip and slam – but practise makes perfect, right? I love the Tim Tam Slams flavours – my favourite is Choc Malt & Sticky Caramel. Yum!”.
