Congratulations to my first blog giveaway winner, Kristen Sweet Lychee! She was randomly selected to win a set of Hawaiian sea salts, similar to the ones I used to make my Hawaiian Salted Cocktail Cookies, for her answer to the question, “What’s your favorite salty treat?”

Her answer: Li Hing Mui. I never thought of it as a “salty” snack, more of a sour one, but she’s right—it’s definitely salty! Kristen, I hope you enjoy the salts!
