Do you need to eat something sweet after each meal? Do you ever finish dessert and realize you crave a bite of something salty? I think it is that need for the balance of sweet and salty on our palates that makes the combination so addicting. I’ve always been a fan of chocolate covered pretzels, but ever since I became obsessed my discovery of salted caramel I’ve expanded my sweet and salty love to a huge array of desserts.
For today’s blog party, we are celebrating the combination of sweet and salty! Click on the links to get recipes for each of these amazing treats.
