BISCUIT fans, rejoice – the Tim Tam Sweet & Salty is back for good after sparking a shopping frenzy across the UK.
The Aussie choccie treat hit Tesco shelves in July as a limited edition and vanished almost instantly, with desperate snackers even hunting them down on eBay.

The biscuit was first created as a tongue-in-cheek April Fool’s joke online – but demand went wild, forcing makers to put it into production.
Brits flooded comment sections with comments in fear the treat would not make a return to UK shelves.
One shopper said: “My local Tesco store is no longer stocking this!”
Another added: “I’ve not been able to find a single packet in my store!”
Now, Tim Tam bosses say it’s here to stay.
From October 3, shoppers can grab the cult treat in Tesco stores nationwide.
Talyah Falabella, Tim Tam’s international marketing manager, said: “The response to Tim Tam Sweet & Salty in the UK has been nothing short of incredible.
“What was meant to be a limited-edition treat quickly became one of our most talked-about biscuits, with fans desperate to find it in stores.”
Tim Tams have long been Australia’s best-loved biccy – a crunchy biscuit with smooth cream filling, all covered in chocolate. Now Brits are well and truly hooked.
So, if you missed out the first time round, no need to raid eBay – just head to Tesco and bag yourself a packet of the viral biccy Brits can’t get enough of.
It comes after the release of the new white chocolate flavour earlier this month which left shoppers delighted.
Sainsbury’s supermarket was the first UK store to stock the white chocolate version of the snack.
One shopper said: “Need the white chocolate ones.”
While another eager customer said: “Sainsbury’s are now selling white chocolate timtams, my lil Aussie backpacker heart is so happy.”
And a third shopper simply said the treat looks “yummy”.
The tasty treat comes in many flavours, including chocolate and caramel.
Shoppers can also try out a range of other flavours too, including milk chocolate and extra chocolatey.
