If you're a vegan missing chocolate biscuits, sweets or Tim Tams (or just a human being with taste buds), you'll love my Vegan Tim Tams. They're made with a crunchy biscuit base, a creamy filling and a rich coating, and taste just as good as the real thing. They freeze well if you can manage to stop before the entire batch is gone. Happy nibbling!
