...I just had my first Tim Tam Slam.

(That website claims it's an Aussie thing, but KiwiSamurai assures me it is a New Zealand practice and custom.)

You bite off opposite corners of a Tim Tam, put one bitten-off corner in a mug of hot tea (or coffee), and suck. The moment the hot sweet tea is in your mouth, stop sucking, and eat the Tim Tam before it dissolves into a sticky mess.

(You can, briefly, see how the hot tea streaming through the biscuit has melted the chocolate in that line, before the biscuit begins to feel a bit soggy in your hand and needs eating now.)

Oh! I've done that! It's definitely an Australian thing as well. I was sent two packets from Australia by a lovely person with instructions to do that very thing. So I did. I miss Tim Tams.

It was extremely interesting with the potential to be extremely messy. KiwiSamurai said that she had had it suggested to her that one try it with port, but she couldn't see how that would work because it wouldn't melt the chocolate, so I pointed out that mulled port would melt the chocolate.

I am unsure how I feel about port at times, but mulled port is gosh-delicious...

Tim Tam Slams work with hot cocoa as well. I haven't tried it with tea, and I don't particularly care for coffee.

I think cocoa would be just too chocolately.
