In a January blog, Wine Trail Traveler talked about Tim Tam Slams and Port. At the time the Tim Tam cookies made by Pepperidge Farm were sold in Target stores until March. As we traveled to wineries, if they produced Port we usually mentioned the Australian experience of Tim Tam Slams. The idea is to take a small bite off diagonal corners of the chocolate covered cookie. Insert the cookie into milk, coffee or in the case of wineries Port. Using the cookie as a straw, draw the liquid into the cookie. The porous texture of the cookie absorbs the liquid and the cookie is even better.

I learned yesterday that Pepperidge Farm is bringing back Tim Tams to stores and in addition will sell dark chocolate Tim Tams at Target stores. For some reason, the cookies will only be available between October and March each year. You may want to think of stocking up – I wonder if they can be frozen?
