    I actually said to the hubs yesterday I'm having wicked cookie cravings and planned to nom some today. You know something mad? This thread has kind of put me off. Not because I don't love cookies, but because we don't have GS cookies and now I want GS cookies and anything else is going to be a poor replacement.

    *emails US rellies for shipments*

    I may or may not still have a couple cases worth in the freezer from last year

    Having two female juggernaut jr's = a plethora of access to Girl Scout Cookies

    Girl Scouts? You mean the Diabeetus Mafia? Food Babe says they're actually a lab-created crossbreed between Monsatan and used carsalesmen.

    Ours are actually bred from sugar and spice and everything nice...

    Sugar? You mean HFCS?!

    I mean the debbil

    "A Tim Tam is composed of two layers of chocolate malted biscuit, separated by a light chocolate cream filling, and coated in a thin layer of textured chocolate."

    They come in a bunch of different flavours, too, including white choc, dark choc, chewy caramel, salted caramel, red velvet, raspberry, double coat, and various limited edition flavours.

    Even better:

    "The Tim Tam Slam (also known as the Tim Tam Shotgun, Tim Tam Bomb, Tim Tam Explosion and Tim Tam Suck) is the practice of drinking a hot beverage through a Tim Tam. Opposite corners of the Tim Tam are bitten off, one end is submerged in the beverage, and the beverage sucked through the biscuit - as though the Tim Tam itself is a straw. The crisp interior biscuit is eventually softened and the outer chocolate coating begins to melt, at which point the biscuit is eaten. "

    That one took me longer than it should have; it's almost time for beer.

    Don't buy any. If you feel guilty about it make a donation. The GS only earn something like 50:cents per box.

    You can buy Tim Tams in the US in specialty stores like Cost Plus. Our friends from Oz were here in September, so we got to try the salted caramel ones. Unf. So good... especially with coffee or used as coffee straws!

    Thanks for the beer-GS cookie pairings... I had forgotten about them! Mm. Also, if you can get some, try Mother Earth Brewing's Cali Creamin'. It is light (lol) and not a particularly fantastic beer, but it finishes tasting like cream soda, so that bumps it up in my opinion.

    Also, also, Bud Light > Budweiser, because if you're having to drink it, might as well be lower in calories, too! :lol:

    Hmm. I have a similar problem with Tim Tams. I bought a package but I'm okay as long as I haven't opened it. I know there are 90 calories per cookie, but now I'm wondering how many are in a package. But I suspect there are more than 10.

    I've eaten a whole pack of tim tams many a time! I think there's 9 in a pack. I can't remember as it's been a while and I refuse to buy them anymore!

    One of my favourite go-to take along dessert snacks - 2 packs of Tim Tams (any flavour you like, but chewy caramel is great) - obliterate them in a food processor, add enough condensed milk to make it thick but not runny (about half a can), fridge it for 30 mins, roll it into balls and roll them in coconut. Incredibly delicious, no bake, 3 ingredients. I'm doing them for Australia Day.

    i actually don't like Tim Tams, these are the exception.

    Sorry. You probably never needed to know that.

    Don't like Tim Tams??? I have never heard that uttered by anyone before.
    Nice recipe.
    And yes 9 in a pack but they have smaller packs I think there is 5 in them, may also be 3 packs around.

    I know you dont want to hear this but sometimes bingeing doesn't stop until its ready to. I gained almost thirty five pounds from binge eating on sweets, and i couldn't stop. It stopped on its own i didn't do anything to make it go away, so you can try not to buy more, but if you do just hang in there the damage can be undone.
