Tim Tams!!!!!

[pinkbikes]

Dammit! They were on special when I did the groceries the day before yesterday and DD just HAD to have a packet since DH had already bought one earlier in the day and eaten them ALL (without sharing any with me I might add).

So they are just sitting in the fridge looking at me! I will NOT weaken!

Mint slices are my downfall... I don't have any in the house & like to keep it that way for a while. Mint slices seem to call me from the freezer...

Have to agree that Mint Slice is my weakness over a tim tam from the freezer remind me of summer days after school in Northern South Australia. US Customs accused me of being a commercial importer last time I took a box as carry on!

The one I had were made in Australia, so I would suspect that only the name outside changed (Pepperidge Farm and Arnott's are both owned by Campbell's soup)

I am SO with you there. I have not weakened - the Tim Tams are still intact in the fridge. Everybody raves over them, and I enjoy them well enough to have one here or there, but a Mint Slice is my real downfall. Ooooooh... Mint Slice..... No wonder I don't have them in the house except when our Canadian mates come to visit!
