When you're an Aussie living in America you don't just miss home, but the snacks as well. Most of the well known Aussie snacks are made by Arnott's an Australian food company, whose name is synonymous with Australia's favourite biscuits.
My favourites include:
Tim Tam
Filled with a chocolate on the outside and inside its a must have in every Australian home. Packets of Tim Tam's are almost always devoured in seconds if left on the table. Tim Tam's come in a variety of flavours including; chocolate (original), white chocolate, dark chocolate, chewy caramel and double chocolate. During the year Arnott's may release 'special edition' flavours as well.
Shapes
Shapes are yet another iconic Aussie snack also made by Arnott's, which are small shapes for example pentagon, hexagon etc. With a range of flavours, everyone can love. Shapes range includes Barbecue, Pizza, Nacho Cheese, Cheddar, and Cheese & Bacon. In addition, Shapes launched three new Shapes flavours: Salt & Vinegar, Roast Chicken and Hot Dog. My favourite, however, is the Pizza & Barbecue flavour.
SAO
SAO's are a wafer thin cracker that tends to go with a vegemite spread and or cheese and tomato, topped with a bit of pepper. If these were in your lunch box as a child you'd be a happy camper.
Tiny Teddy
Tiny Teddy's are another iconic Aussie snack. When these were in my lunchbox as a kid it would brighten up my day 100%. Well even as an adult they would still brighten up my day. Tiny Teddy's come in a variety of flavours including; chocolate, honey, chop chip and hundred of thousands.
Milk Arrowroot
Milk Arrowroot is an oval shaped biscuit usually enjoyed with a nice coffee or tea if you're an adult or just as a snack if you're a kid.
Scotch Finger
Scotch Fingers are preferred for the melt-in-the-mouth crumbliness and heavenly buttery taste. Snap, dunk and enjoy!
I can't tell you how much I miss the snacks listed above. My two fav snacks overall have to be the original Tim Tam's and the Scotch Fingers. Can't wait to go home at the end of the year and indulge in an abundance of snacks.
