What’s in Your Coffee?

Every once in awhile, something really amazing happens. Last week, that amazing thing happened to me. SheSpeaks sent me two bottles of Torani flavored syrups, asked me to try them and blog about them. A-MA-ZING. Come up with a recipe, they said. I say: Go ahead and send me an advance because I have got a whole book. Umm, @DouglasGarasic, can I get a title?

Seriously, for the past week, I have been living out my dream of being a Starbucks barista in my own kitchen. “You know what would be good in that hot chocolate? Some Torani Salted Caramel Syrup!” “Coffee? Oh, wait, how about some Torani Peppermint Syrup? Mmmm, we’ll make it a peppermint latte!” My kids, who are equally easily amused, are enjoying their fabulous coffee house cocoas, but my black coffee husband is missing out.

I have to admit that as much as I wanted to love it, I’ve been disappointed with every Salted Caramel concoction I’ve tried. Until now. I cannot get enough of the Torani Salted Caramel Syrup. I mixed it with apple cider and whipped cream rum for a delightful adult concoction. I’ve added it to coffee and hot chocolate, and if I’m being perfectly honest, yes, I have also licked it off the spoon. It is THAT GOOD.

If peppermint and salted caramel are not for you, don’t despair, they have a TON of flavors! Pumpkin spice, caramel, chicken and waffles–I’m serious, raspberry…what are you waiting for? Go! God Speed!

You might have gathered that this post is sponsored by SheSpeaks and Torani, but that in no way minimizes my love of these syrups.
