Years ago I was introduced to a 'Tim Tam Slam' (where you bite the ends off and use the Tim Tam as a straw to suck up hot tea). I never looked back! I don't miss Tim Tams but if I found a version that tasted much more like them than the current offerings, I'd snap them up quick smart! The brownies really do look delicious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-14344442450967717752014-01-26T19:00:43.388+11:002014-01-26T19:00:43.388+11:00Love this idea!!!

And you have made me wish I'd approached Australia with greater interest in creating adventurous twists on Australian food...all I did was make vegan lamingtons (following the recipe you adapted previously), which were great, but hardly novel :)<br /><br />We also bought those jaffa lamingtons a few weeks ago to take to a game afternoon with Mr Bite's brother - Mr B loves jaffa flavours and lamingtons so he enjoyed them a lot. <br /><br />I hope you enjoy your day and the long weekend!Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887621874869110597noreply@blogger.com
