What is it about

What is it about salty and chocolate? Its not a combination you'd think of, but its one I can't resist. For example chocolate and potato crisps.

What about you - is salty and chocolate a combination you enjoy? Is there something else you prefer instead?

I love "sea salt caramels."

And I like "trail mix" ("gorp") which is a mix of salty and sweet things like nuts, raisins, and chocolate.

But I raise eyebrows when I tell people I like having chocolate with beer! I don't do it often, but the bitterness of the beer leaves me craving the sweet of chocolate, which leaves me craving the bitterness of the beer, and so on.
@DrWatson I love "trail mix" / "gorp"! :-)

@DrWatson I can remember my dad often liked to order a pint of stout with a Mars Bar in the pub.

I have only done it with lager. Now I feel like a rank amateur compared to your dad! 😃
I have tried salt on various sorts of chocolate, and I prefer the chocolate by itself. Whole Foods sells some sea salt chocolate caramels: chocolate covered sweet caramel with chunks of sea salt embedded in the chocolate. I've tried them repeatedly as is and after picking off the salt. To my taste, it's better without the salt.

I love salty and chocolate together. In fact, it's so popular here (Norway) we have chocolate covered bugles. We call it Smash and their catchphrase is: "you can't have just one"

I literally just finished a bag

I'm fairly indifferent to that combination. Chocolate with nuts on the other hand I love 🙂

@SunshineGirl

I am very quirky when it comes to chocolate and nuts. I like chocolate added to nuts but not nuts added to chocolate!

Chocolate covered peanuts are great. But I don't like a chocolate bar with little pieces of peanuts in it. In that case, the nuts seem a distraction.

Weird? Guilty as charged!

But pretty low on the weirdness scale around here! 😏

@DrWatson Hazelnuts are best for me. Don't know what the chemical formula is, but I love it!
@SunshineGirl chocolate covered macadamia nuts are great also...

I’m a fan of chocolate covered pretzels.
I like salty and chocolate. Like chocolate covered peanuts
@Shybutwilling2bfriends have not tried those.
@VeronicaJane theyre really good
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
That's an absolute nope from me.
@CrazyMusicLover oh, and what would your favorite combination be?
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@VeronicaJane Sweet and bitter or sweet and sour. I love dark chocolate and candied orange peel. Chocolate and coffee. Vanilla and sour cherry ice cream. Oh, I especially love ice cream with sweet and sour parts in contrast.

I like salty just as salty.
@CrazyMusicLover there is definitely something wonderful about coffee and chocolate. :-) ;-)

@Piper I'm getting used to sea salt, but not really a caramel fan....
