The Viral Recipe That Has Us Rushing to the Store to Buy Pickles

I'm always looking for snack options to feed my cravings without having to do a lot of cooking, but I am also trying to stay away from junk food. I recently tried to make peanut butter cups at home (spoiler alert: they're so easy and so good), but this time around I was craving something savory . Lucky for me, social media had a suggestion. Recently, I saw a TikTok from one of my favorite content creators who made an easy, cheesy snack that I knew I had to try.

TikTok creator @that40yearguy shared a pickle and pepperoni snack on his account that I thought looked a little suspicious, but I love pickles , he swore it was delicious and he hasn't steered me wrong, yet, so I gave it a try. Here's what happened.

How Do You Make the Viral Pickle Pepperoni Cheese Chips?

Not only is this a cheap snack, but it only took me five minutes to make it and it's low-carb . To make it, you will need pickles of any flavor. I chose dill pickle slices, but you can slice your own if you want. You will also need cheddar cheese (again, I chose pre-sliced to save me some work) and pepperoni rounds.

To start, you preheat a frying pan and coat it with cooking spray. Then, you place the pepperoni rounds on the pan. As they heat up, add the cheese on top of the pepperoni. I didn't like that the cheese slice covered too much of the pepperoni, so I cut the slices in half. After the cheese melts a bit, place a pickle slice on the top and wait until the cheese is melted enough it's to hold onto the pickle.

You'll then flip the entire stack, placing the pickle onto the frying pan. Leave it there for around a minute before you remove it from the pan. The first two stacks stuck to my spatula because the cheese was so melty, so I ended up sliding the rest off the pan onto my plate.

What Did I Think of the Viral Pickle Pepperoni Cheese Chips?

Once they were on the plate, I added a dab of ranch dressing to each one and braced myself for the first bite. It smelled good, but it still didn't seem like a combination I would enjoy, but I was wrong. It was amazing ! It tasted like a combination of pepperoni pizza and fried pickles and I will definitely be making these again.
