Sweet and salty is a match made in heaven
March 3, 2010
I grew up eating bowls of Parlour ice cream (Heavenly Hash was my fave) followed by potato chips (usually sour cream and onion) and loving the combo of sweet and salty has stuck with me. And so I’m not sure why it took me so long to try salted caramels, but having now tasted Purdy’s Himalayan Pink Salt Caramels, I find myself asking its pretty little box, “Where have you been all my life?”
I did a little fact checking with the company, and the pink salt is indeed from the Himalayan Mountain range, harvested from an ancient sea salt deposit that was crystallized during the Jurassic Era over 200 million years ago.
With only two precious caramels left in my supply, I’ll be ordering up a fresh new box pronto from the Vancouver-based chocolatier.

Rogers — I don’t know Rogers. Now I’ll have to check that brand out, too! (I’m scared for my next dentist appointment!)

I love them too! Other people think I am crazy until they try one. Lindt also has a yummy sea salt bar too but Purdys is amazing! Thanks goodness they came out east.

[…] I love. Womanity is the first fragrance to combine sweet and savoury notes. (And while I knew that I like the combination when it comes to food, it turns out I’m a fan of the sweet and salty combo when it comes to fragrance, too.) The […]

[…] I’ve had a major hankering for Purdy’s Himalayan Pink Salt Caramels lately. Major. As in I’ve spent too much time pondering ”How soon can I get myself over to a shop to get me a box?” (It’s been way too long that these have not been in my life). […]

[…] the fleur de sel turtle bar (chocolate, nuts, salt, caramel) is my weakness (but then again, I’ve always had a thing for sweet and salty). I limit myself to bringing home just one each visit. And I throw in an almond croissant, […]
