TIPS AND TRICKS FOR MAKING CHOCOLATE COVERED PICKLES

  • Ice, Ice Baby – Keep the pickles cold! These do not do well if they get warm!
  • Variation – instead of sea salt, you could add red pepper flakes or sprinkles for a dash of color. To make this recipe vegan, try using vegan chocolate chips.
  • Shape – you can use pickle slices, pickle rounds and whole pickles! If you’d like to cover the entire pickle in chocolate, when using whole pickles, poke a cocktail stick into one end of the pickle and use this to dip it into the chocolate.
