Having gone to school in Canada, Tim Horton's holds a special place in my heart. There's nothing like a hot chocolate on a -40 degree day (I wish I was kidding about that temperature). And who doesn't love timbits? Timbits were actually on the menu the weekend I got so ill I knew I had to finally go to the doctor regarding my pesky chronic stomach aches.
I had long resigned to no more Tim Horton's treats in my life until I was contacted recently about their new gluten free coconut macaroons. A small package arrived a few days later with a sample of the macaroons. They come two in a two pack and are pre-wrapped to avoid cross contamination. So far, they are winning. They sent me some literature with the macaroons that informed me that not only are they available in all Tim Horton's locations, but they are only $1.29 per package. This seems very reasonable to me. They also tasted good. So, overall nice work Tim Horton's.
I've read some reviews that complain how unhealthy they are. But come on, you are at a doughnut shop, what do you expect? Low cal, all natural, organic macaroons? If you are going into Tim Horton's in the first place you aren't there for a nutritious snack. You are there for some delicious treats. And now you can have a safe delicious treat along with the rest of 'em.
While I appreciate the gesture of a gluten free treat from Tim Horton's, I do have one complaint: they aren't timbits. Dear Tim Horton's, please start working on gluten free glazed timbits. Love, Anya.
