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."

And oh, the sweet (and salty) places you'll go with this gift pack that Morton Salt (still my favorite salt package design!) has offered up for giveaway!

• Morton Salt Coffee Mug

I have a recipe for Salted Caramel Dark Chocolate Buttercream icing which is just divine - I slap it on anything that looks remotely like it needs icing! My favorite sweet and salty treat though is a homemade concoction inspired by a local chocolate shop.....hot, buttered, salted popcorn drenched in salted caramel sauce, drizzled with melted chocolate (BOTH milk and dark), and studded with dried cranberries and toasted salt & pepper pistachios....oh. my. GOODNESS!!
