Torani Syrups are delicious!

I'm a member of the She Speaks Blogger Society. Occasionally they send products for the members to test and then let others know what they think of the products. I recently signed up for a Torani Syrup trial from She Speaks. I expected to get a small trial bottle or two of the syrups, but I was amazed to open the package and find two of the large bottles. The flavors I received were Peppermint and Salted Caramel. I've had a couple of the flavors over the years. I like to flavor my coffee sometimes and my husband doesn't, so the syrups are a great way to do that. Just a tablespoon or so in a cup is perfect, just the right amount of flavor and sweetness. But I've never tried these two flavors. The Salted Caramel was perfect in my coffee. I've had the regular caramel before and that was good, but the salted caramel was so rich and full. I enjoyed it so very much. We used the Peppermint as an addition to hot cocoa and tea, both hot and iced. It was absolutely delicious! You can also add the syrups to carbonated water and make your own sodas. If you add a bit of half-and-half, you get what's called an Italian Cream Soda, also very delicious. You can find these in some stores, but they aren't common in my area. Luckily, Torani has an online store, shop.torani.com. They have 81 regular flavors, from Almond to White Chocolate, including some you wouldn't expect, like bacon! I've had their sugar free syrups in the past. They have 34 sugar free flavors, although for you bacon fanatics, that one isn't on the list. They're sweetened with sucralose (Splenda), which isn't too bad, flavor-wise. I liked the sugar free varieties much better than any other brand I've tried. All in all, I really like Torani Syrups. At $7.95 for a 750 ml bottle, they aren't even an extravagance. I do recommend buying a pump for these. It just makes it easier to dispense and you can just move it from bottle to bottls.
