Australia and New Zealand may be famed for exquisite seafood, perfect lamb and the ability to cook absolutely anything on a barbeque, but their snack game is also second to none. From Tim Tams to fairy bread, Australian snacks put the comfort in comfort food, while over in Aotearoa, the likes of pineapple lumps and hokey pokey ice cream ensure that the Kiwi sweet tooth is well satisfied.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you\u2019re planning a trip to either Australia, New Zealand or both, be sure to leave extra room in your suitcase for these quintessential snacks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Arnotts Shapes<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The ultimate group snack and the perfect savoury delight to tuck into on a long coach journey, it doesn\u2019t get much more \u2018Strayan than Shapes. Thicker than a chip (or crisp) but still the perfect bite size amount, Shapes come in a variety of flavours including BBQ, pizza, cheese and bacon and chicken crimpy, and also each come in different shapes (funny that!). You won\u2019t be able to just stop at one (or five or six) but who cares, you\u2019re on vacation!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tim Tams<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tim Tams are just about as Aussie as it gets. Every country has their own version of a Tim Tam, but only in Australia can you do the Tim Tam Slam. Grab your Tim Tam, bite the ends off, place one end into a cup of milk and suck. The milk melts the inside of the biscuit and turns the Tim Tam into a chocolate straw! Then, once the Tim Tam is soft enough, gobble it all up. This king of Australian snacks is guaranteed to get you feeling like a child again, and you\u2019ll love every second.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Vegemite<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Have you even been to Australia if you haven\u2019t tried vegemite. This Aussie snack may have a very distinct smell, but push through to the tasting and you won\u2019t be disappointed. The trick however, is to ensure you abide by the 50\/50 rule. Eat your vegemite on toast with a 50\/50 ratio of spread to butter, and you won\u2019t regret it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Fairy Bread<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sometimes the simple creations are the best. Fairy bread may sound (and look, and taste) like something you\u2019d find at a 6 year-old girl\u2019s tea party, but don\u2019t knock it before you\u2019ve tried it. To create your own, simply butter some bread (white bread is best) then liberally sprinkle hundreds and thousands all over the top, et voila.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Meat Pies<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

One of the best Australian snacks, meat pies can in fact be found all across Australia and New Zealand and should be sampled at all costs. Usually filled with minced meat, gravy, mashed potatoes and often also onions and mushrooms, they\u2019re best enjoyed with a healthy splodge of tomato ketchup on the side.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Snags<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Move aside hot dog buns or fancy brioche buns, for Aussies a simple slice of bread wrapped around their snag (sausage) is one of the ultimate Australian snacks. It may not look quite as pretty as your classic hot dog, but the sausage to bread ratio is actually just right. Chuck a few fried onions in there and you may just never look back.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A mini cake that combines chocolate, coconut, cream and jam into one bite-sized square, lamingtons pack a series flavour punch. They can be found in any supermarket, convenience store or caf\u00e9 in Australia and go perfectly with just about anything.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Cherry Ripe<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While a Cherry Ripe may not be for everyone, it is one of Australia\u2019s oldest and best-selling chocolate bars, so rightfully deserves to be included on any Australian snacks list. Manufactured by Cadbury Australia, the Cherry Ripe consists of cherries and coconut coated in a thick layer of dark chocolate.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Hokey Pokey ice cream<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Hokey Pokey is one of THE essential flavours of New Zealand. This tasty honeycomb creation can be found in a number of sweet treats and deserts, but truly comes into its own as an ice cream, where vanilla ice cream is combined with solid lumps of honeycomb toffee. You can grab yourself a scoop of the good stuff anywhere in NZ, or if you\u2019re more of a chocolate connoisseur, try Squiggles Hokey Pokey. It\u2019s kind of like a Cadbury\u2019s Crunchie bar, but with more of a cookie centre.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Whittaker\u2019s peanut slab<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Whittaker\u2019s chocolate is, in a word, heavenly. A true Kiwi icon and a source of national pride, the flag ship creation of the brand is their Peanut Slab. Wrapped in gold and more than a little reminiscent of Charlie and the Chocolate factory, this bar of goodness offers up the most chocolatey chocolate, the nuttiest of peanuts and the most satisfying snap when you take a bite. Whittaker\u2019s chocolate comes in many flavours and all are wonderful, but the peanut slab is the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
