Tim Tam Crush-crush
Further to my "I'm not on a diet" post.... in case you're wondering what I might eat when I have a treat, read on.
Bike Boy and I were at the supermarket this afternoon, doing the *yawn* grocery shopping. And I remarked that I planned to have a treat tonight. I cruised along the ice cream freezers, picking up Cornettos, Magnums, and various other frozen delights and putting them back. I couldn't decide - I wanted something...well, SPECIAL. Chocolate, thought I - that's what I want!
But in the chocolate aisle, again I was indecisive. Lindt 85%? Some Lindor balls? A Peanut Slab? Hmm....
So when we got to the checkout, I still hadn't decided. I was unloading veggies, cereal, canned tuna and so on and still pondering. Then I had a brainwave (or perhaps it was a mini-stroke; who knows?). I finished unloading the washing powder, toothpaste and paper towels out of the trolley and told Bike Boy I'd be right back.
You know those Tim Tam Crush bikkies? Well, with a name like that, they're really just ASKING for it, aren't they? I grabbed a pack of those, a small tub of premium vanilla ice cream and this is what I came up with:
You smoosh up two Tim Tam Crush biscuits (I chose the toffee nut ones), chuck them on top of a couple of scoops of ice cream, and add a little toffee sauce (just happened to have some in the fridge). Mmmm.......
The REALLY good thing? You only get 8 in a pack of those Tim Tams, so assuming you're making dessert for 4, temptation is completely removed once you've had your indulgence.

Very Nice! Looks almost gourmet!
Atta girl!! Now you're talking my language! Glad to see that you are normal after all!
I find myself shopping for the kids holiday treats - exactly the same way - looking for packaging where the quantities come out exactly right so that there is nothing left what-so-ever.
I don't much care for Tim Tams but I reckon I could force myself to eat that.
That looks so good. I really do need to learn to be more creative with my food prep- can creativity be learned or do you have to 'have it'?
Mmm, dunno Claire... I always liked to cook and to sew and "make stuff" and I began doing my own thing at an early age.
Nothing clever about THIS though - I got my inspiration from Jen Hendershott, of all people! A couple of us at Phat Camp gave her and the other girls several packets of Tim Tams and they smashed them up and mixed them with ice cream. I just thought it was a good idea... :p
