Raspberries grown at a family farm in Caboolture will be the star of a new Tim Tam flavour hitting shelves today - a big win for farmers who have battled drought and the impacts of COVID-19.

Aficionados of the Arnott s biscuit were quick to express their excitement over the yummy new flavour. My tastebuds are tingling, one person wrote. All I want for Christmas is a Murray River Salted Double Chocolate Tim Tam, another person added.

Arnott’s will release four new versions of the iconic biscuit next week – and there’s one flavour in particular people are most keen to get their hands on.
