Ok, I have to admit, I’ve got a bit of a problem.  On one hand, I am extremely disciplined with what I eat and try to avoid sugar.  But on the flip side, I LOVE, LOVE sweet and salty things together.  In fact, chocolate-covered almonds with sea salt is one of my all-time favorite things.

So here’s my dilemma: chocolate bars are everywhere and come in many varieties, but I cannot open one without eating the whole darn thing.  So I went in search of a sweet and salty box of chocolate bites.  However, I cannot find a box of sugar free, salted chocolate covered almonds anywhere!  I’ve scoured the web and I cannot find it.  Really?  I’m the first person in the world that wants this combination?!!

What’s a girl to do?  WELLLL, I got creative.  See’s Chocolates has a box of sugar free chocolate covered almonds.  And what I do is spritz the chocolates with water from a spray bottle to moisten the tops.  Then I sprinkle the chocolates with my yummy rock salt.  Voila!  In about 20 minutes they are dry, I have a perfect box of sugar free salted chocolate covered almonds!  But the yum doesn’t stop there…if you are a sweet-and-salty-aholic like I am, try adding rock salt to the top of fresh, baked chocolate chip cookies or brownies….delish!

Live the moment,
