There are some things that have the power to instantly make me feel young again, and one of those things is Werther’s Original® caramel candies. Unwrapping one of the hard caramels and letting it slowly dissolve on my tongue reminds me of when that Werther’s Original® candy was a special treat from my dad or one of our family friends.

But to be honest, I’ve always preferred soft candies to hard ones, and so now it’s the new Werther’s Original® Chewy Caramels, Soft Crème Caramels and Fudge Caramels that I love having on hand for a treat. Whether I want a sweet afternoon indulgence or a little snack before bed, one or two Werther’s Original® caramels instantly satisfy. [Read more…]

Celebrate Fall with a Salted Caramel Apple Crisp Recipe

September 27, 2015 by Kathryn 25 Comments

September is apple season and to me, that always means apple crisp! Crisps are one of my all-time favourite desserts and while I love the tart rhubarb crisps that I often make in the spring, I also adore a sweet and spicy apple crisp when fall arrives.

This year, Kraft Canada is featuring a variety of delicious apple crisp recipes, from classic baked apple crisp to twists on tradition including Caramel Apple Crisp Cheesecake and Slow-Cooker Apple Crisp with Warm Vanilla Sauce! After drooling over the tasty treats, I couldn’t help but want to create an apple crips dessert of my own. So I decided to add a gourmet twist to a classic with a Salted Caramel Apple Crisp!

Make This Creamy Salted Caramel Latte Recipe and Other Delicious Drinks with New Pure Via Stevia Liquid Sweetener-Giveaway

September 19, 2014 by Kathryn 170 Comments

As somebody that is fairly health conscious, but also shuns artificial ingredients in my food, I’ve been a fan of Pure Via sweetener since it was first introduced in Canada. This naturally sourced option is made from an extract from the leaves of the Stevia plant and provides low-calorie sweetness that doesn’t cause fluctuations in blood sugar levels.

Pure Via sweetener is available in a granulated form that I love for baking and for sweetening my coffee in the morning. But the granulated version doesn’t dissolve very well in cold beverages, so I was pretty excited when the brand new Pure Via Stevia Liquid sweetener was introduced! The liquid version of my favourite low-calorie sweetener dissolves instantly in both hot and cold liquids and comes in a handy portable bottle with a no-drip lid perfect for a busy mom.

To let people see for themselves how delicious new Pure Via Liquid is, the company developed some fabulous and delicious cold beverage recipes perfect for a hot day. While autumn may be here, Saskatchewan is still enjoying plenty of warm, sunny days so I decided to test out one of the recipes and see how I liked it. And of course, as a confirmed coffee addict, I couldn’t resist whipping up a Creamy Salted Caramel Latte! [Read more…]
