I'm Australian and my husband is English, so we've had quite a few debates about whether a Penguin or a Tim Tam is better!!<br /><br />I think it's hilarious that the Brits have the cheaper competitor - the Puffin!! Cracks me up so much!<br /><br />Try having one with a cup of tea, bite each end off and then dunk one end in your tea and suck the chocolate through. Not very elegant or classy, but delicious!Michelle @ the quilted tortoisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07719802145673735205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524960354656106962.post-70278005839273781202011-10-29T02:45:24.259+01:002011-10-29T02:45:24.259+01:00No idea what a TimTam is but it looks delish! :) C...No idea what a TimTam is but it looks delish! :) Cute pumpkin cake too.Jennifer Mathis of Ellison Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948038420636643227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524960354656106962.post-90146901029002373462011-10-28T22:09:45.889+01:002011-10-28T22:09:45.889+01:00Oh my goodness ....those blocks are AMAZING!

Also fyi - my local Tesco was selling them here for quite a while (maybe still are), so if the girls are on to them you might be able to restock easier than you think!
