I’ve been a fan of the salt and sweet combination ever since I can remember – way before Ben & Jerry made Chubby Hubby, I was dipping my pretzels into my chocolate ice-cream with roasted peanuts. But now it’s so trendy, that I can get it all the time – and I’m always a sucker for it on menus or in specialty shops. So, I know this is has been a blog about restaurants, but it’s more about eating well. I feel like it’s my duty to bring all the good eats your way, just in case you are traveling to some of the great places I’ve been and I don’t want you to miss anything tasty.
On a recent trip to the outlets in Kittery, Maine – we went to one of my favorite shops – the Stonewall Kitchen store. They do have a restaurant here – with yummy looking treats, and a cooking studio. But, the real draw for me is all the wonderful sauces, jams, relishes and toppings that they have to taste – and taste as much as you want, until you get a bellyache, if you want! On the last visit, I found the most amazing Sea Salt Dark Chocolate Hot Fudge Sauce. For those of you who can’t get to Kittery, they offer mail order! This is the perfect combination of salty sweet. When you take your first taste, you notice the saltiness first and then the sweetness develops into the delicious chocolate goodness. I can’t begin to tell you how amazing this stuff tastes. I didn’t think twice as I piled two or three or maybe a few more jars into my shopping basket – only $6.95 each! When I got it home, we had it with vanilla ice-cream and chopped nuts on top – for some extra saltiness. I even scooped out a little straight from the jar – and so will you once you give it a try!
