Aussies go wild for new tropical Tim Tam flavour after iconic treat relaunches in major comeback

Aug 14, 2023

AUSSIE’S are going wild for a new Tim Tam flavour after the popular chocolate biscuit underwent a major relaunch.

One of Australia’s favourite biscuits has brought out a Coconut Cream flavour and fans seem to love it.

Makers Arnott has combined the ever-popular chocolate biscuit layer with a creamy coconut-flavoured centre.

The taste sensation comes after a social media survey discovered that 73 per cent of people said they “loved” the taste combination of chocolate and coconut.

It originally came out in 2015 under the Zumbo range.

Rebecca Chan, Arnott's Marketing Manager for Tim Tam said: "Australians adore Tim Tam and we love making new flavour combinations for them that bring their favourite chocolate biscuit to life in innovative and exciting ways.

"Tim Tam Coconut Cream is a decadent addition to the range that will certainly bring that deliciously dream, island-life taste to Aussie households, and we can't wait to hear what Tim Tam fans think of the new flavour."

One reviewer on TikTok said it looked and smelled “amazing” and after taking a bite said “there was a good slug of cream”.

He added: “It’s like the Bounty flavour. This isn’t for everyone but if you like Bounty and you like Tim Tams then give this a f**king go.”

Ultimately they rated it 7.5 out of 10, saying “nothing spectacular but well executed”.

Another person on the social media site added their thoughts, saying they rated it “20 out of 10”.

She said: “I really like them,” although her dad wasn’t so keen.

A third person also took to the site to share their thoughts.

She also rated the new chocolate biscuit, saying “wow” and giving it a 9 out of 10.

Fans of the famous biscuits can pick up a pack of Tim Tam Coconut exclusively at Coles supermarkets and Coles Express stores across the country for $4.50 a packet.

Tim Tam biscuits have been hugely popular in Australia ever since the brand launched in 1964.

The name came from Ross Arnott who had attended the 1958 Kentucky Derby and thought the name of the winning horse was ideal for a biscuit.
