Aussie biscuit hailed ‘10/10' is finally available in the UK
In March 2024, the UK was treated to 'Aussie gold' as a snack from down under made its way onto supermarket shelves.
Tim Tams, which feature crunchy biscuit and a cream filling all covered in a smooth chocolatey coating, launched here for the very first time, landing in Waitrose.
Prior to this, Australians had been enjoying the sweet treat since 1964, when it was introduced by biscuit company Arnott's.
In the UK, Tim Tams have been sold in original, dark chocolate and chewy caramel flavours over the last year, but now a new flavour has hit the market and it's one fans have hailed as '10/10', 'a dream' and 'the best'.
Shoppers at Tesco can now get their hands on Sweet & Salty Tim Tam biscuits – a unique product inspired by another iconic Australian snack.
Those who can't choose between sweet and savoury foods won't have to as these combine the classic Tim Tam fillings, with a savoury cracker nestled between the layers.
In Australia, these crackers are inspired by Jatz biscuits, also made by Arnott's, which look rather similar to a Ritz biscuit.
The Sweet & Salty flavour first began as an April Fools prank on social media, that caused such a stir that Tim Tam made it the real deal in 2024.
Finally, the product has made its way here, with limited-edition packs selling for £2.50 in Tesco supermarkets, while stocks last.
Talyah Falabella, Tim Tam International Marketing Manager, says: 'Tim Tam has been Australia's favourite chocolatey biscuit for over 60 years, and we're excited to bring this new, even more irresistible flavour combination to the UK.
'This biscuit was originally inspired by an April Fools' prank on social that went viral. The demand from consumers to make this into a real product was so high we just had to make it a reality.;
She added: 'Tim Tam Sweet & Salty provides the ultimate indulgence for sweet and salty lovers to enjoy by combining 2 favourite flavours together to create one irresistible biscuit.'
On Instagram, a user named @staceye__50w said: 'Seriously the best Tim Tam I have ever had 10/10.' More Trending
