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

My favorite sweet-and-salty treat is the salted caramel cupcake from PinkaBella Cupcakes in Redmond. Chocolate cupcake with fabulous, addictive caramel buttercream frosting, caramel drizzle, and a little sprinkle of salt on top. Mmm...

Oooh...sweet and salty is my favorite! Any chocolate bar with nuts is appealing. But also chocolate covered pretzels. And I've had chocolate covered Pringles which fare better than average potato chips cause of the lack of grease!

[Kristin A.]

Toffee with nuts chocolate and salt. Or chocolate covered pretzels. Just can't say no :D

Lately everything I eat is salty-sweet. My current favorite is sliced avocado on toast, with sugar and salt sprinkled on top. Very, very simple, and oh-so-good.

[Kathy]

The all-time ab-fab salty-sweet treat is kettle corn. Sweet, salty popcorn? Why, yes, thank you!

(close second? Miso peanut butter cookies. omg.)

[Anna]

You CAN NOT beat chocolate covered pretzels :)

I had the most delicious Salted Caramel cupcake from a bakery in Ann Arbor for my birthday. Favorite from childhood was a nice salty piece of chocolate covered sea-foam.
