Keeping It Sweet and Salty In 2012
The holidays are officially over but I still feel incredibly busy: Too much travel? Too much baking? Too much online shopping? Too much Lifetime Christmas Movies?
Fortunately over the holidays I discovered 2 new treats that are making Moi life just a little sweeter…
Torani Sugar-Free Salted Caramel Flavored Syrup - I’m always up for a Starbucks trip. Recently I ordered my year-round standard (tall skim chai, extra shot, extra water, extra hot please!) SIL Katie ordered a sea salt caramel mocha coffee: how’d I miss that? Still missing NYCs posted calorie counts, I went online and checked the calorie count: anywhere from 220 to 450! So saved for special treats…
Then on a shopping trip to World Market I happened to see the Torani syrups, and noticed Sugar-Free Salted Caramel: voila! Now afternoons when I’m working at home I make my own salted caramel mocha coffee:
Salted Caramel Mocha Coffee
- 1 cup fresh hot coffee (I usually make decaf)
- 2 pumps Torani Sugar-Free Salted Caramel syrup
- 1/2 packet 25 calorie Swiss Miss instant hot chocolate
Sweet and salty and chocolatey – and less than 25 calories!
$6.99 per 250z bottle: and I like the convenient pump for a 1-time extra $1.99.
Marzetti Sweet & Salty Caramel Dip: niece Rachel came to visit, and gifted us 2 cartons of Sweet & Salty Caramel Dip and a big bag of pretzels: Uh- Oh! I held out for a week, but then I had to open the 1st container…huge mistake! So sweet and so salty and so creamy and so easy!
I’m guessing it would be yummy with apples too…but so far I’m sticking to pretzels!
$3.99 for a 16oz container…but I’d buy 2…just in case!
Torani Sugar-Free Salted Caramel Syrup and Marzetti Sweet & Salty Caramel Dip…it makes me happy!
Moi Idea: I’m thinking I might try my nutella poundcake but with Sweet & Salty Caramel Dip in place of the nutella: this could be dangerous!

That caramel dip sounds yummy. Rachel is setting a very high standard for all visiting nieces in the world …
