For the last few weeks, Arnott’s has been releasing recipes inspired by their all-time great biscuits. And while I truly appreciate having the means to make my own Monte Carlo, that’s been blown out of the water by their latest share: the recipe for a Tim Tam brownie.
While Arnott’s hasn’t released the official Tim Tam recipe, this is a close second. After all, it combines the literally perfect biccie with another of baking’s greatest hits, the brownie.
“The response to the Big Recipe Release has been amazing, and many people have been asking us for Tim Tam,” said Arnott’s Master Baker Vanessa Horton.
“While the biscuit itself is Advanced-Level Baking, this brownie recipe is an easy and delicious way to make a treat using Australia’s favourite chocolate biscuit.”

The luxe-as-hell brownie joins the Monte Carlo, Scotch Finger, and Iced Vovo recipes already released by Arnott’s. What’s next is anyone’s guess, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed for a Kingston or even Chicken Crimpy Shapes.
