Pickles in a Blanket is a Cheesy, Two-Ingredient Viral TikTok Snack
Laura McQuarrie — May 8, 2023 — Lifestyle
Claire Snyder, @clurmurr on TikTok, shared her self-described "guilty pleasure" snack and inspired countless snackers to make the two-ingredient snack that has since been dubbed "pickles in a blanket." This snack of cheese and pickles has more than 12 million views and a million likes, and the comment section is a place where people are sharing new versions with one another. The original, however, was just made by putting a slice of Provolone in the middle of a pan, waiting for it to sizzle, adding a pickle, and wrapping the pickle once the cheese became hard and golden.
Although the creator of this viral TikTok recipe can't decide between calling their creation a pickle in a blanket, a "picklet" or a "chickle," those who have tried the recipe are quick to agree that it is a simple and satisfying treat.
