How Caramel Developed a Taste For Salt



"President-elect Barack Obama has taken to salted caramels, too. He likes to treat himself to a Seattle candy maker’s version, robed in dark chocolate and sprinkled with smoked sea salt."

I love reading "cultural" things in the NYT

... for what it's worth, I've loved Ladurée's caramel à la fleur de sel macarons since last year in Paris.

p.s. Starbucks's Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate is divine.
