<br />
'''Tim Tam''' is a brand of chocolate biscuit made by the Australian company [[Arnott's Biscuits Holdings|Arnott's]]. It consists of two malted biscuits separated by a light chocolate cream filling and coated in a thin layer of textured chocolate. Tim Tams are widely popular in Australia and have gained a cult following internationally.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Tim Tam was first introduced to the Australian market in 1964. The biscuit was named after a horse that had won the [[Kentucky Derby]] in 1958. The creator of the Tim Tam, Ian Norris, was inspired by the [[Penguin (biscuit)|Penguin biscuit]] from the [[United Kingdom]], and sought to create a similar product with a unique Australian twist.<br />
<br />
==Production==<br />
Tim Tams are produced at Arnott's factory in [[Sydney]], [[New South Wales]]. The production process involves baking the biscuits, applying the cream filling, and then coating them in chocolate. The biscuits are then packaged and distributed across Australia and exported to various countries.<br />
<br />

==Cultural Impact==<br />
Tim Tams have become an iconic part of Australian culture. They are often enjoyed as a snack with tea or coffee, and are a popular gift for visitors to Australia. The "[[Tim Tam Slam]]" is a popular way to consume the biscuit, involving biting off the ends and using it as a straw to drink a hot beverage.<br />
<br />
==International Availability==<br />
Tim Tams are available in several countries outside Australia, including the [[United States]], [[Canada]], and [[New Zealand]]. In the United States, they are distributed by [[Pepperidge Farm]], a sister company of Arnott's under the [[Campbell Soup Company]].<br />
