Ingredients
Scale
- 6 whole dill pickles (spear or chip cut)
- 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother chocolate)
- Flaky sea salt (for topping)
- Optional: crushed pretzels, peanuts, or sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- Pat pickles dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Dip each pickle (or half of it) into the melted chocolate and let excess drip off.
- Place dipped pickles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Sprinkle immediately with flaky sea salt and any optional toppings.
- Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes or until chocolate is set.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Drying the pickles well is key to help chocolate adhere.
- Try bread & butter pickles for a sweeter twist.
- Serve at parties as a unique conversation starter.
- Use dark chocolate for a richer, less sweet contrast.
