Tim Tam Time

When I tell people that I don't like chocolate they make a weird face as if I had sprouted a unicorn horn on my forehead. "You don't like chocolate? Everyone likes chocolate". Well, it's not that I don't like chocolate per sae, its just that if I had to choose between a bag of gummy bears or the chocolate cupcake you can imagine, I'd choose the bag of gummy bears. I always opt for no dessert if chocolate is the only option. It's not that I don't like chocolate, it's just that it doesn't taste good enough to eat it on a regular basis or even once in awhile. I do like chocolate milk though, but not chocolate icecream or milkshakes. Its such a bland flavour. White chocolate is more my thing. Yum.

However, this all changed a few weeks ago when I was at my ESL tutoring job and a fellow tutor offered me either a Shape or a chocolate covered biscuit type deal. In this case I had to choose the biscuit because it was 10:30 in the morning and only a madwoman would consume greasy chips at that hour. So I chose what I found out was a Tim Tam. I was hesitant at first to eat it, but it just looked so perfect. I took a bite and I swear to the stars in the sky, something strange happend to me. I actually liked it. I didn't just like it, I thought it was the best chocolate biscuit I'd ever eaten in my life. Beneath that perfect chocolate covering are two biscuits sandwiched with the creamiest, smoothest, butteriest chocolate filling that exists on the face of this earth. I just about melted after finishing off the last bite.

The next day I bought a package of Tim Tams and ate near half of it. However, I quickly found out that the most I can eat in a row is two. They are so rich, consuming three is a death sentence. Beware.

Have you ever tasted anything that was so good, you almost melted?
