Torani Syrup Review

Hello everyone!! This is another sponsored review for SheSpeaks and Torani. I was sent two 25.4 oz bottles of syrup and five$1 off coupons. This time, I received Peppermint and Salted Caramel. I am very pleased with these flavors. I recently ran out of my Torani Vanilla flavored syrup, so these came just in time!

Torani Peppermint Syrup

With the cool taste and refreshing fragrance of freshly-picked mint, this flavor is an invigorating addition to any beverage. Just add 1 oz. of this classic to mochas, hot chocolate, and blended drinks.

Sugar Cookies with Peppermint Flavored Icing 

My sister made homemade sugar cookies and icing. She added Torani Peppermint Syrup to the icing, and she topped the cookies with peppermints.

Torani Salted Caramel Syrup

The richness of buttery caramel is brought to new heights with a pinch of salt in this delectable syrup made especially for iced coffee drinks. Add 1 oz. to brewed or iced coffees, espresso, steamed milk,and more. 

Salted Caramel Waffle

April Favs, Dislikes, Ebay, and Kululu

 Favs:

Nivea Touch of Sparkle Cream Oil Body Wash

I love this body wash! It smells wonderful and it makes me soft :)

Skinny Cow Dreamy Clusters: Milk & Dark Chocolate

Yummy! It's hard not to eat the whole box!

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails polish in Love Rocks

This is a pretty hot pink color. I always wear pink on my toenails :)

Dislikes:

Bistex Deep Renewal Chapstick

The only thing that this chapstick did was dry out my lips!

Up & Up Cotton Rounds

These cotton rounds leave little pieces of cotton all over my face. I don't like the Up & Up brand from Target. I bought their Nectarine White Ginger body wash  awhile back and it dried out my skin, & their Benzoyl Peroxide Gel didn't even work :(

Ebay

False lashes and Hello Kitty Glasses

I haven't worn these yet.

Super cute!!

I finally found a Kululu Plush toy!! I did my happy dance and everything! I bought it yesterday and it should arrive close to the end of May.

I bought from this eBay store

Well that's all for now. Have a great day!!

Torani Flavored Syrup Review

Hello! Today I'm doing a review on Torani Flavored Syrups. I received 2 flavors, Sugar Free Pumpkin Pie & Classic Hazelnut, from SheSpeaks.com.

About Torani:

"Since 1925, family-owned Torani has been crafting great tasting flavored syrups that coffeehouses use to make their flavored drinks taste so delicious. With over 120 flavors in regular and sugar free varieties, Torani flavored syrups are perfect for flavored lattes, mochas, coffees, cocoas, Italian sodas, teas, lemonades, cocktails and smoothies.

Torani Sugar Free Pumpkin Pie Syrup

Pumkin Pie flavored waffles

I'm not fond of the Torani Sugar Free Pumkin Pie Syrup nor am I fond of the aftertaste that Splenda has. I had a big breakfast with my family on November 5th. 16 people were there including myself! I brought both the pumkin pie syrup and the hazelnut syrup for them to try out. The pumkin pie syrup was only touched by me. I then decided to try out recipes using this syrup. The one recipe that I really enjoyed was pumpkin pie flavored waffles. You just mix the pancake batter like you normally would and add in some Torani Pumpkin Pie Syrup. This syrup really does taste like pumpkin pie, but I think that I would have enjoyed this flavor if it was the regular version.

Torani Classic Hazelnut Syrup

Hazelnut Hot Chocolate

My family and I really enjoyed the Torani Classic Hazelnut Syrup. It has just the right amount of hazelnut flavor as well as the right amount of sugar. The bottle is half way gone! I've used this syrup in coffee, teas, steamers, and hot chocolate. For the recipe above I just followed the instructions on the hot chocolate packet and poured in the Torani Hazelnut Syrup. I topped it off with whipped cream and chocolate truffle shavings. I recommend the Torani Hazelnut Syrup over their Sugar Free Pumpkin Pie Syrup.
