Rep Power: 10 | What's Your Favorite...
Salty snacks? Or sweet desserts?
What are your favorites...chips, nuts? Or cakes, ice cream, and cookies?
Any particular recipe you enjoy making in these catagories?

Rep Power: 10 | It usually goes back and forth with me. Ice cream would be my favorite sweet, and I add bananas and chocolate syrup sometimes or chopped nuts. Popcorn for salty. I usually make popcorn in my wok with foil poked full of holes over it. Salt and oil, butter. I don't like the "flavored" popcorn as much. | |

Rep Power: 10 | I think it is Paula that has the best 'Nut Brittle' recipe....or maybe it is just a Food Network recipe. Anyway, it is both salty and sweet. Made a TON of this for Christmas presents and people asked for more. You may want to check it out..

Rep Power: 10 | I get those nature valley sweet and salty granola bars a lot. They are kinda like a payday candy bar, but supposedly a little better for you. | |

Rep Power: 1 | This thread is almost 1 year old!! Happy Birthday...
My favorite salty would be either Nacho Cheese Doritos (are they salty?) or Potato chips in ANY flavor.
Sweet....hmmm. Wait, I got it. Cookies!! Just not any that contain raisins.

Rep Power: 2 | I like sweet and salty mixed together. My favorite candybar is Payday.
Don't know if any of y'all have ever try this, but put a pack of skinless salted peanuts (like the ones from Tom's) into a Coca-cola or Pepsi in a bottle (not a can). When you drink the soft drink you get that salt from the peanut and the sweet of the soft drink at one time. Lots of people in the South do it and I've been doing it since a kid in the 50s. | |

Rep Power: 1 | I love sweet and salty at the same time!
My favorite salty would be popcorn, like Suzie I don't care for the flavored popcorn much. My favorite oil for popping is coconut oil, it is refined so it doesn't taste like coconut, but makes the popcorn taste more "corny" and it is a very light textured oil so it leaves no oily flavor behind, I usually get this in the natural foods section of the store.
Hey Suzie have you ever used a splatter screen instead of the foil for your popcorn? I like this method because all of the steam escapes making nice crispy, tender popcorn.
