Information about Tim Tam Slam
The basics
It always nice to start with some background information for the classmates who don’t have a clue you’re talking about. To prevent this, start with the basics. The Tim Tam cookies are made of 2 crunchy (chocolate) biscuits with smooth cream in between them and coated in special Tim Tam chocolate.
The first and original Tim Tam cookie is filled with butter, cacao and vanilla. Years later Tim Tam has expended and nowadays you can choose from a lot of different flavours. For example, you can choose for a raspberry, caramel or mint filling. Nevertheless, the original Tim Tam is still after all these years the best-selling one!

Where are the Tim Tam biscuits originally from?
The Tim Tam biscuits are invented and manufactured in Australia. In 1958 Ian Norris started experimenting with crème flavours and biscuit cookies. Ross Arnott came up with the name Tim Tam and after 6 years of perfecting the Tim Tam it got to the market. So, in 1964 the first cookies were manufactured for the public by Arnott’s factory.
