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

Oh - salted caramel hot chocolate

[Janelle]

I'm a huge fan of salted caramels, especially the ones covered in chocolate. Triple yuminess!

[Jamie]

Salted caramel is the best!

[Amy]

Kettle Corn, my favorite sweet/salty treat these days!

[Kim]

Salted caramels!

[emilyadi]

Definitely the maple bacon bar. Best doughnut ever.

[Jacqueline]

I think my fav salty-sweet combination has to be chocolate, peanut butter and pretzels. Any treat involving those is my favorite!

[Colleen]

Probably my most favorite sweet/salty combo is salty popcorn with something sweet - of course kettle corn is the easiest, but I also like M&M's or Reese's Pieces with popcorn too!!!

[Jen B]

My favorite sweet/salty treat is salted caramel corn. Yum. Also an apple with a bit of salt is also good.

[April]

I love salt on cantaloupe, brings out the sweetness.

[Cara]

Mmm, I'm just getting into adding salt to sweet items, and it is awesome! My favorite is a chocolate chip cookie recipe from the New York Times that lets the dough sit in the fridge at least 24 hours, and then a hefty sprinkle of salt on top - they are amazing, and everyone who has tried them agrees. I'm addicted!

[MelindaB]

chocolate covered popcorn!

Hot salty french fries and a cold, creamy milkshake. . . (Perfect with a Wendy's frosty!)

[Dana]

These maple-bacon cupcakes I made once - they were to die for! We were even eating them for breakfast! :)

I am 6 months pregnant and I cannot get enough of the sweet and salty combo! It is trail mix with peanuts, chocolate chips and raisens for me!

[Allie]

My favorite is so lazy: a chocolate chip cookie with a little pile of salt next to it, which I dip the cookie into!

[Elisabeth]

sea salt caramels are up there.. however, i made a batch of maple bacon snickerdoodles once that almost made me insane. so good!

I made salted pumpkin caramels for Christmas. Yum! My favorite!

I have an unhealthy relationship with salt. I add it to everything! I would have to say salted chocolate chip cookies are amazing.

I enjoy chocolate cupcakes with salted PB or other flavored icing... salty & sweet!
