When asked what she thought of the pies the creator said she would rate them an eight out of 10.
Although she thought they were delicious she did say there were a few improvements she would make in the future.
'It was definitely better with the blueberries or raspberries in the middle,' she said.
'Next time I would crush up the Tim Tams finer (I just crushed and chucked in). This way you'll get your full pie look when the soft bit inside the biscuit starts to shrink.
'I would use two and a half to three Tim Tams per pie and put more fruit in. I feel my arteries hardening now.'

This isn't the first time people have used the machine that is popular around the country to easily make meals.
Previously savvy home cooks revealed how they're using Kmart's pie maker to make cob loaf pies - with a twist.
Their variations on the winter time treat are cooked using the gadget but tasty fillings are being prepared using French onion soup dip.

Traditionally a cob loaf pie is made from a cob loaf bread roll that's been hollowed out and filled with a tomato, cheese layer and refilled with a mince/gravy filling.
However, one version of the pie that's earning scores of fans on Facebook is a 'spinach cob dip pie'.
'Spinach "cob loaf" pies (substitute the cob loaf for the pie pastry)... you can thank me later,' wrote a woman alongside photos of her delectable creations.
The pie filling (pictured) is made using thawed frozen spinach, French onion soup mix, sour cream and shredded cheese

She said the parcels were easy to make and used just a few household ingredients.
'250g frozen spinach parcels (thawed and liquid squeezed out), 2x packets French onion soup mix, 1 tub 300mL sour cream and shredded cheese. Mix all of it together!'
After making the mixture, the woman said she spooned onto pre-cut puff pastry rounds and sealed with a pastry lid.
Then she baked the pies until golden brown. While cooking times can vary, it is suggested between four to six minutes.
Others have used the Kmart pie maker to make all manner of treats, from soda cakes to the 'snow cakes' that became popular on Facebook.
