Sweet and salty is a match made in heaven

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.
