Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups sweet bread-and-butter pickles sliced
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • Flaky sea salt optional, for garnish

Instructions

  • Pat the pickle slices dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture helps the chocolate stick better.
    1 ½ cups sweet bread-and-butter pickles
    Hand placing a paper towel over rows of sliced pickles on a white marble surface.
  • Place the pickles in a bowl and sprinkle with sugar. Toss to coat evenly and let them sit for 15 minutes.

  • Microwave the chocolate chips in a bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each burst until smooth. Stir in the oil for a glossy finish.
    1 cup dark chocolate chips, 1 teaspoon coconut oil
    A white bowl filled with smooth, glossy dark chocolate ganache on a light marble surface.
  • Dip each pickle slice halfway into the melted chocolate, then place on parchment paper. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on the chocolate while it's still soft, if desired.

    A wooden board holds several slices of chocolate-dipped dried pineapple, arranged in rows. The pineapples are partially covered in dark chocolate, and there's a bowl of chocolate and small bowl of salt to the side.
  • Chill the dipped pickles in the fridge for about 15 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
  • Enjoy chilled for the best texture and flavor!

Notes

Gina's Tips For Recipe Success
  • No microwave? Melt the chocolate on the stovetop using a double boiler.
  • Serve these chocolate-covered pickles chilled for the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure that your pickles are completely before dipping them in chocolate, or the chocolate will only slide off. 
  • To make easy chocolate covered pickles, use pre-sliced pickle chips.
  • Keep your melted chocolate away from water because even a tiny drop can cause it to become grainy.
