Sweet Giveaway: Enough Salt to Turn You into a Seafarer from Morton Salt

As Dorie Greenspan wisely said, "salt is pastry's unsung hero...a pinch is enough to balance the sugar in a tart crust, underscore the flavor in any chocolate dessert, give caramel that certain je ne sais quoi."

That little girl plays an important part of my early memories, Both my mother and grandmother used Morton Salt.

[Lexi]

I had some really delicious salted carmel chocolates over the holiday. They were very unique and had the perfect amount of salt on top.

[Owlchick]

I always add a pinch of salt to my baked goods, even when the recipe doesn't call for it.

[Anne]

The most delicious sweet/salty combo I've ever had was a chocolate pot de creme with sea salt at Michael Symon's restaurant Lola.
In real life I am not classy though and find there is nothing like scooping cream cheese frosting right out of the can with mini pretzels.

[Ladywild]

Candied cayenne bacon. It's a topping offered by a local pizza shop. It rocks!

[Kendrawesome]

Kettle corn is totally fab, or even fresh popcorn with lots of butter and loads of salt. Add M&Ms as necessary.

[Kate T S]

For salty sweet treats, I love any and all pairings of peanuts/peanut butter and chocolate. Mmm, homemade bonbons.

[Tricia M]

Definitely Toffee sprinkled with sea salt; it's got that chocolate/sweet/salty combination down!

[JennyK]

dark chocolate or white fudge covered pretzels!! amazing in ice cream too!

[Erin]

This made me think of a favorite simple high school treat, which was oh-so-trashy and oh-so-good: semi-melt a brick of cream cheese in the microwave (about 20 seconds or so), then just dip really salty pretzel sticks in until you feel too trashy to continue. Also, chocolate covered pretzels...

[day]

I'm a huge fan of molly moon's salted caramel icecream, super yummy!

[Mark S]

Salted caramel is simple perfection.

[Charis]

my favourite sweet & salty treat is definately Chocolatey Nut Bars! Made with milk and dark chocolate, and filled with pieces of honeycomb and salted peanuts, they are delicious, and have that perfect balance of sweetness and saltyness! =) xox
