Where you can find it: The Jewish/Israeli grocery store aisle if you have one.

6 Tim Tams

What it is: Two crunchy chocolate cookies separated by a milk chocolate cream filling and coated in a thick layer of milk chocolate. You can actually do something called the "Tim Tam Slam" with these, which involves biting off opposite corners, dipping one corner into a beverage and drinking the beverage through the cookie, turning the beverage chocolate flavored and the cookie into a soft and melty chocolate mouthgasm.
Where you can find it: Tucked away in the cookie section of your grocery store, if you're lucky.
