Over the last few years sweet and savory flavor combinations have been the dominating activity in food and beverage development. While sweet and salty snacking options have been around for some time — think Chex Mix Honey Nut or classic kettle corn popcorn — we really have to thank salted caramel for bringing the popularity of sweet and salty foods up to a whole new level. Salted caramel, the undisputed flavor of the year in 2012, kicked off a full-fledged love affair with all things sweet and savory, and the trend shows no signs of slowing down. The doors have been opened wide for a parade of unexpected flavor combinations to shock the palates and satisfy the senses.
