Arnotts Tim Tams


Taste

Ahhh, Tim Tams, the quintessential Aussie biscuits from a non-Australian company, Arnotts. For the latest World Cup do, we tried our favourite, Classic Dark - an original Tim Tam wrapped in dark chocolate, absolutely divine, and the best of all the flavours, as well as their 2 new flavours, Latte - a really aromatic coffee smell, and now my 2nd favourite Tim Tam flavour, and Choc Orange - over-rated with a weak orange smell and taste.

The best to worst of Tim Tams are:

  1. Dark Chocolate
  2. Latte
  3. Chocolate Mud
  4. Double Chocolate & Raspberry
  5. Original
  6. Double Coat
  7. Chewy Caramel
  8. Sticky Vanilla Toffee
  9. Creamy Truffle Temptation
  10. Choc Orange
  11. Black Forest Fantasy

Rating - 7.5

Look

Each package comes with little compartments for individual Tim Tams. I'm sure you all know that the new flavours such as the alcoholic, indulgence and these new ones all range from 165 g - 175 g whereas the old favourites were in 200g, but they all cost the same... I think it's very sneaky of Arnotts to do that.

The best thing about them is when you bite them in half and you can see the different textures.

Rating - 1.5

C-factor

For the normal flavours you get 200g but for the special ones, you only get 165g. I think it's a rip-off, and won't buy them unless they're on special to start off with.
