I knew you were talking about TimTams even before I moused over the link.
Yup Aussie make great biscuits. And wine. And fruit. Erm I mean I hate Aussie yeah that's it.
Pretty much everything here beats Oreos IMHO.

Apart from maybe the Krispies and the hundreds and thousands.

No idea but they were around when I was a kid. Bought some last year they're a bit average.

I am a sucker for Anzac cookies. Tim tams get all the rep but they're garbage compared to Anzacs.
I'll take the Oreos which you dumped and name two local culinary diabeticides:
a) chocotorta
b) torta de conitos

Warm Apple cinnamon cake with ice cream is the desert of the day!

Apple crumble even better.
I just make do with what I have on hand.
Fun fact: Basic applesauce is one of the first things I learned to make in my home economics class in Grade 7.

Apple plus cinnamon just works. Doesn't matter to much if it's in a pie (American or British style), crumble or other dessert.
Water is necessary, too.
The first time I made it at home, my grandmother was half-convinced I'd burn the house down (my mother would have been more convinced). But it worked, and while it wasn't as good as my grandmother's, it wasn't too bad.
Eventually, though, I switched to working with chocolate, whether in the form of ordinary chocolates, chocolate-coated fruit, or chocolate haystack cookies. I was making chocolate-coated grapes for an SCA feast one day when one of my typing clients showed up. He was not expecting to see me with my hair tied back, wearing an apron, and chocolate from one end of the kitchen to the other. I was about halfway through the process (required about ten to twelve dozen grapes, each individually dipped and set to cool on stands in the fridge), so I told him I'd get to his paper after the feast that night.

My in laws make ye olde fashioned English style baked desserts. The wife figured out how to make a beautiful apple crumble using her mother's recipe.
I think I prefer cream over icecream but either works.
I'll bake a carrot cake with walnut in it and serve it up hot with yoghurt or icecream.

I reached out to an old mentor at my community college to see if they were going to try and set up any partnerships with the new space company in town. My mentor has retired so doesn't know, but he told me he still uses me as his go-to example for 'if I put my mind to it, incredible things will happen'.
I'm not crying you're crying
