Tesco Launches New Biscuits for Christmas: How They Are Better Than Tim Tam.

New Chocolate Cookies from Tesco

According to The Sun: Tesco has introduced new festive chocolate cookies in its Christmas section, which shoppers have already dubbed the equivalent of Tim Tam.

If you want to enjoy a classic Australian chocolate sandwich with cream filling and a satisfying crunch, this cookie is worth trying.

The cookies are already available on the shelves in the festive section, and they have been spotted on social media, particularly on @sweetreviewsuk. The new offering from Tesco is noted for its intense chocolate flavor.

You get a crunchy cookie, smooth cream filling, and a thick layer of chocolate that holds up well when dipped.

The flavor is expected to be rich but not overly sweet, with a slight crunch, unlike Penguin, and a sweeter finish compared to classic bourbon.

The cookie structure consists of two thin biscuits, soft filling, and full chocolate coating.

This reminds you of those moments when you tried Tim Tam abroad or purchased imported versions in the past.

Additionally, the cookie perfectly fits into the category of 'treat for tea', which British shoppers adore.

What Shoppers Are Saying

Social media exploded as soon as the cookies hit the shelves.

Comments indicate that shoppers are actively comparing it to the classic Australian product.

“I wish we could see these cookies today,” writes one commenter, while another adds: “I feel we need a girls' night with movies and a bowl of these cookies!!!”

If you really want to try the cookie, give “slam” a go: bite off opposite corners, use it as a straw for a hot drink, and then eat the melted cookie before it falls apart.

The chocolate coating of this Tesco cookie looks sturdy enough for experiments at home, and the filling softens quickly when heated.

How It Compares to the Original

In terms of texture, this cookie falls somewhere between Tim Tam and Penguin.

The biscuit is a bit airier than Tim Tam, making for a lighter crunch.

The chocolate layer is generous, close to the Australian style, compared to most analogs in British supermarkets.

The flavor predominantly features milk chocolate with a sweeter cream filling, so expect less bitterness from cocoa and more dessert notes.

If you want to try the real taste of Tim Tam, the original has already arrived in Tesco stores nationwide, starting from October 3, according to the brand.

Thus, you can purchase both the authentic version and Tesco's alternative in one store and conduct your own comparative testing.

Price and Where to Find It

Look for the new chocolate sandwiches in the Tesco Christmas section and on seasonal shelves.

Stock may vary depending on the store size, but the festive section is your best bet.

Expect family-size packaging at an affordable price in the supermarket, making it an easy addition to your large shopping cart.
