Tim Tam Slam

10 08 2008

There is a cookie here called the Tim Tam.  It may be the best thing on the planet.  Tim Tams come in multiple varieties but they are traditionally two chocolate cookie rectangles with a frosting-like cocoa/sugar between them, then dipped in more chocolate.  This, by itself, is good.  However, Tim Tams can be made even better through employment of the “Tim Tam Slam” or “Tim Tam Straw” technique.  Allow me to demonstrate.

Step One:  Procure a box of Tim Tams.  I like the dark chocolate variety.

Step Two:  Remove a Tim Tam from the box.

Step Three:  Bite off just the ends of the Tim Tam.

Step Four:  Procure a  cup/mug of  a cookie-compatible beverage such as tea, hot chocolate, or milk.  I am using milk.


Step Five:  Put one end of the Tim Tam in your mouth.

Step Six:  Lower the other end of the Tim Tam into your beverage and drink the beverage through the cookie, essentially using the cookie as a straw.

Step Seven:  Note that the cookie has been moistened throughout by the beverage, but the chocolate coating manages to maintain the Tim Tam’s structural integrity (e.g. large bits of it will not break off and fall into your beverage as sometimes happens with Oreos or graham crackers).

Step Eight:  Devour the now uber-delicious Tim Tam.

Step Nine:  deliziosi!

nice deconstruction of the process there.
also, as always, nice hat.
this sounds much more appealing than the inferior “twizzler straw” method of drinking sprite or other beverages that mix with faux fruity candy.
