Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Last Thursday night I had the opportunity to have a really incredible dinner at the student-run restaurant at a local culinary institute. The food was all excellent, especially the Philly cheesesteak-stuffed pirogi, but the standout of the evening was the dessert platter. On it was a dark chocolate covered caramel, with a thin layer of salt in between the chocolate and the caramel. I wanted that bite to last forever. Sadly, it only lasted about 30 seconds, but it was a good half-minute.
However, I can get one step closer in my own kitchen now, by following Desert Candy's instructions on how to make chocolate covered fleur de sel. She pairs it with ice cream and says that you can use any large grain salt for it (kosher should work as well as the more expensive stuff).

But thanks for the link!

I've never much been able to do the sweet-without-a-complementary-flavor . . . lemon and lime curd and salted chocolate top the list of sweets for me. My favorite chocolate sauce is made with bittersweet chocolate, cream, salted butter + an extra sprinkle of salt, cayenne powder and cinnamon.
Who needs ice cream with these around??
