Black forest Tim-tams

People used to rave about Tim-tams. I would hear stories about how people would have them sent from Australia to whatever other country they were living in. Maybe there was a time when Tim-tams were a quality product. On the packet, they certainly do look like a tasty chocolate biscuit.

They definitely have some semblance of a resemblance to a chocolate biscuit.

The filling looks tasty, and should make for satisfying eating.

They just don't taste like a chocolate biscuit. Sure they resemble one, to some degree. I suspect when they were first made the business was aimed at making a quality chocolate biscuit. Then the business expanded and layers of management accrued and the work began to reduce the quality of the biscuit to increase profits. I wouldn't be surprised to see cocoa butter had been replaced with vegetable oil in the list of ingredients. Tim-tams these days are just one more form of faux-colate.

Do not buy these again.
