Twix and Tea | Tim Tam Slam Copycat [Tutorial]

Have you ever heard of the Canadian experience called a “Tim Tam Slam”? Well today I’m going to enlighten you, and teach you another little trick (just for fun) for having a similar experience with Twix and tea.

I learned this trick from some good friends. It’s basically a way to drink hot tea or coffee through a chocolate coated cookie, softening/melting the inside before you eat it.

The traditional method

Tim Tams are super good, but a little more messy… Traditionally, you would bite the corners off of the cookie and drink tea through it like a straw.  The hot liquid then goes into the cookie and melts the chocolate filling… At which point you pop it into you mouth, before it falls apart.  De-licious.

My favorite version

Twix makes for a slightly less messy experience, but equally as delightful.  Twix has a caramel and cookie center, so typically the tea rushes up through the cookie part, melting the caramel as it goes.

 

I’ll be honest, I think this method of eating Twix is what made them my favorite chocolate bar! (Or at least, right up there among the best.)

My sister Leah helped me by sacrificing her health to demonstrate for these pictures. (Except that I think a good dose of happy is vital to anyone’s health, so it can’t have been that bad for her.)

Regardless, here’s how it’s done!

The Twix version of the Tim Tim Slam

1. Bite the ends off of the Twix bar, like so.
2. Next, grab some tea.  Good, hot tea.  Your favorite kind!
3. Then, use it like a straw…
4. …Just until you feel the warm tea reach your mouth.  Then stop sucking and eat it.  (Oh joy!)

You don’t want to suck too much tea through, or else the thing will fall apart.

Please note:  You will get melted chocolate on your fingers during this experience.  And also, hot tea is HOT.  Be careful.  

Enjoy! Back soon,
