A new conference tradition - The Tim Tam Slam

We've been watching conference in our home since our kids were small.   One of the things we would do to keep the kids busy was to get licorice laces and Fruit Loops.  The girls would string the Fruit Loops on the licorice and make jewelry or simply braid.

This year we got some licorice laces like we usually do.   It kept me busy (at least until they were all eaten)

This year we started a new tradition - thanks to Mike and Petrea.   When we were in Saskatoon they told us about this biscuit (cookie) from New Zealand called the Tim Tam.    They do this thing called the Tim Tam Slam.  They explained it to us but I really didn't get it until I did a google/You Tube search.

So between the morning and afternoon session we decided to try it.   You can now my Tim Tams at London Drugs.

So for a Tim Tam Slam you need some Tim Tam's and hot chocolate.   We also had some KitKats because Mike said it might work with those as well.

Jenelle made the hot chocolate

  

I went first.  The first step is to bite off the ends of the Tim Tam.

  

Then you use it like a straw to suck up the hot chocolate.   The hot chocolate melts the cream filling and the makes the biscuit very soft.

   

You have to "slam" it into your mouth before it falls apart.

  

It literally melts in your mouth.

  

Its finger licken' good.

   

Jamie went next.

  

Then it was Jenelle's turn

And finally Judy

It was fun.   It really does melt in your mouth.   We also tried it with a KitKat bar.   It works but it doesn't melt as much.  But Judy and I agreed that we like the taste of the KitKat better.

Thanks for telling us about this Mike and Petra.   They learned it from Tom who served a mission in New Zealand.   I wonder if my Mission President does the Tim Tam Slam at home.
