Arnotts Tim Tam Review

Hello everyone! Today I will be reviewing the sugary sweet, Arnotts Tim Tam. The one and only original flavor.

The basics: Arnotts Tim Tam originates from Australia, however they are now able to be purchased in the United States at Target, for about three dollars a pack. Currently, the original and caramel flavors are sold.

Deceivingly sweet and melts in your mouth. A secret candy bar.

To say that I had high expectations is an understatement. For years, I have seen dozens of rave and praise on youtube and blogs all around.  For years, I salivated and dreamt about holding these in my hands. Of course, back then I was obsessed with all things chocolate and sweet.  I am older now and my sweet tooth is not as strong.

Tim Tams are said to taste exactly like a candy bar, except it is a cookie.

I am delightfully amazed that these cookies, do indeed, taste like candy bars.  They remind me a tad bit of the milky way candy bar, mostly because of the soft center. Of course, I can be completely off the chart with this comparison, as nowadays I don't eat too much chocolate, however the taste does stir up some nostalgic memory for me.  

Tim Tams consist of two biscuits/wafers coated with chocolate, and squished between them: a nice  chocolate filling.  The main difference between a Tim Tam, and a regular chocolate candy bar is how smooth it is.  Every bite delivers a nice crunch, without any sort of chewiness or tough bite to it.

Now the filling. The most delightful part.  The chocolate inside the bar melts in your mouth in a good feel type of way. I'm not sure if it leans more on the fudge or milk chocolate side, but it has the consistency of a cream.  I can see why people love pairing this with a nice hot beverage on the side.

Dunk this in a glass of milk, or a cup of coffee and you'll probably get your daily dose of sugar for the day.

Personally, the only downside were how insanely sugary these tasted. I am only able to consume on bar per day.  I don't think I will buy these frequently due to this reason, but I would as a treat or a reward.

Note: I got this for free as a bzzagent, all opinions are my own.

Graze Box 4 Review- A nature/healthy snacks weekly subscription box!

Hello Everyone! Welcome to another Jaqtastic Review! Today, I will be reviewing my fourth Graze Nibbler Box. The ones I thought I'd hate, actually took me by surprise.

 What was inside:

Boston baguettes
BBQ relish with tomato breadsticks
My opinion: I thought this would be a favorite, I thought wrong.  The tomato breadsticks were okay, nothing too great and the BBQ relish was just...wrong tasting.  I don't know whats up with the dippings in all the Graze Boxes, but so far they have been disappointing.  I'll leave this in my 'like' list only because my brother loved these.

Mango lassi
yogurt coated peanuts, pumpkin seeds and mango
My opinion: This was one of the items I thought I would hate. Most mango products make me feel sick with headaches, as do pumpkin seeds. Yogurt anything is just yummy. Was pleasantly surprised that dried mangoes are just magnificent, though very chewy. Yogurt coated peanuts were just yummy, especially since it didn't have a strong peanut flavor. And the pumpkin seeds were just...bleh. No taste, and very bland.

Marvellous macaroon
amaretti drops, almond slices, coconut flakes and white chocolate buttons
My opinion: I thought I would hate this too because of the almond and coconut (I don't like coconut much), however this turned out to be my FAVORITE thing from the whole box! The white chocolate was absolutely fabulous with the coconut flakes, and the coconut wasn't too strong tasting. The almond slices were barely noticeable. The amaretti drops were pretty average- kind of strange tasting, but not bad.

Garden of england
mini strawberries, blackcurrants and apple
My opinion: I thought I would love this. Oh boy, do I suddenly hate apples now. After receiving so much apple products in my Healthy Surprise Box, I just can not stand eating another dried apple. Ugh. The blackcurrants were pretty horrible too- WAY sour, and just mouth clenching.  Only good thing were the strawberries, however it only came with about 3 pieces, so boo.

Overall, this was an okay box.  Be on the lookout for my review for my 5th box! Will be my last box for a long while. (: Enjoy, and have a lovely day!
