Want some salty in your chocolate, sugar in your tea?

I mentioned recently a belated birthday celebration we had with some friends.

One of my presents was some dark chocolate with, in the makers' words, "a touch of sea salt". Also, if you hold the candy up to your ear you can hear the ocean. 

One of the last two sentences is wrong.

Anyway - salt in chocolate? Have you ever? Not me. But we all love the taste of the salt and sweet combination, don't we? We put peanuts in Coke, peanuts with caramel popcorn, Payday candy bar, chocolate covered peanuts, chocolate covered potato chips, chocolate covered pretzels, and on and on and on. But this was new.

And delicious! The maker is Lindt who, by the way, make those marvelous truffles, so they know a thing or two about being chocolatiers. (All for one, . . . )

So, if there is some sort of salty/sweet combo that you cook up at your house, bring it on! Get it packaged and marketed, because obviously we love this stuff.
