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!

When it rains, it pours, and one lucky reader will win a big ol' parcel full of the following:

• Season-All Brand Seasoned Salts
• Nature's Seasoning Product
• Morton Coarse Kosher Salt
• Morton Sea Salt Grinder

but wait, there's more! The package also comes with salt accessories, including

• Sea Salt Container
• Morton Salt Stadium Blanket
• Morton Salt Coffee Mug
• Morton Salt Dog Treats
• Coupons for additional Morton Salt products!

So what are you waiting for? Enter yourself to win this parcel of salty awesome. Simply leave a comment below saying what your favorite sweet-and-salty treat is. Chocolate-covered potato chips? Maple bacon bars? Or simply salted caramel?

I've always had a ... complicated relationship with sweet-and-salty things. As I get older, though, I'm starting to like sweet-and-salty savory foods, like raspberry vinaigrette or pear-and-feta pizza.

I just bought my husband a bar of Lindt dark chocolate with sea salt. We're teetering between the desire to eat it all up and the knowledge that it is best savored.
