The Tim Tam Slam, popularising one of Australia's most loved sweet treats on the world stage, is garnering much attention, thanks to actor Sarah Snook. It consists of two layers of chocolate biscuit separated by a creamy filling, which the food enthusiasts prefer to enjoy with a cup of milk, tea, or coffee. The Primetime Emmy Awardee recently taught Jimmy Fallon how to do a 'Tim Tam Slam' on The Tonight Show. A clip from the talk show has been going viral on social media. It begins with Jimmy asking Sarah about the same, leading her to open a packet of the popular Australian biscuits. She then demonstrates how to eat them using her special technique, which delivers a burst of flavour in the mouth.

Calling them “so delicious”, Sarah holds a cookie in her hand and narrates a suitable scenario, “So this would be like a little cup of tea, you're trying to get cosy on the couch. Maybe a fire is on. Yes! Maybe some milk is in the tea usually,” and continues about the Tim Tam Slam, “So you bite off one corner. And bite off diagonally opposite the other corner.”
