Watkins Caramel Extract

I am very happy to announce that Watkins Caramel Extract is back in stock! Watkins patiently developed a rich caramel flavor that will make your baked goods taste better than ever. Both sizes are ready to order now.

  • 21364 (2 fl oz/59 mL) $4.99/$6.99
  • 01193 (6 fl oz/180 mL) $8.99/$11.79

I’ve had so many requests for this extract and it’s no wonder as the rich, sweet flavor is perfect in a fruit dip, excellent in frostings, cookies and many desserts. The recipe below is one of my favorites, it will keep in the fridge for several weeks… if your kids don’t find it!

Caramel Apple Dip

Mix together the following using an electric mixer:
1 package (8 oz/227 g) softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup/60 mL brown sugar, 1 tsp/5 mL Watkins Double-Strength Vanilla and 1/2 tsp/2.5 mL Watkins Caramel Extract.

Core and slice apples, pears or other firm fruit and serve with the dip.

Why We Prefer Watkins Toothpaste

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

I was starting to get a bit worried, one of the products we use every day has been unavailable since February. I am pleased to announce Watkins Peppermint Toothpaste (02332) is in stock and available to order in both the US and Canada. Fortunately I did have enough stock on hand for my local customers and our family.

We prefer Watkins toothpaste because it whitens your teeth without harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. The high foaming formula helps fight cavities with fluoride and prevents tartar while freshening your whole mouth with mint. We love the natural mint flavor which is complemented by all natural parsley seed and sunflower oils for long-lasting freshness. You really can have it all, a cleaner mouth, fresher breath and a whiter smile all in one tube!

I’m sure that you’ll love Watkins Peppermint Toothpaste too.

Watkins Purest Granulated Black Pepper

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006

 Customers are always telling me how they like Watkins pepper better than any other brand. They’ve just got to have their Watkins black pepper, nothing else will do.

It’s true, most brands of pepper can’t compare to Watkins and I noticed this myself when we were staying with friends. My friends cooked and served us a lovely breakfast, and the eggs were smothered in pepper… ah, I like pepper but not that much! Anyways, I had to be polite and eat my eggs, so I took my first bite expecting it to be very peppery but I couldn’t even taste the pepper and there was no pepper bite! I was amazed and a little bit relieved as I finished my breakfast. My husband on the other hand loves pepper, so after he had taken his first bite he gave his eggs a very generous sprinkling of pepper. He mentioned to me on our way home that he still couldn’t taste the pepper! You can probably guess what our friends received as a gift from our family, some real pepper! I made sure to mention that she might notice that the Watkins pepper is a bit stronger than what she was using before! ;)

It’s funny when you use a product all the time, you don’t realize or think about how it might be different or better than a similar product, until you try that other product. I’ve had people tell me they only use fresh pepper that they grind themselves, and when they try Watkins pepper they are always delighted by the fresh taste. So, if you are a pepper fan and you haven’t tried Watkins Purest Granulated Black Pepper yet, now is a great time! You’ll taste a real difference!
