Pickles have long been a favorite as sandwich toppings and stand-alone snacks, and now, several food companies are using their unique flavor to enhance a variety of products.
Foods incorporating the briny flavor have surged in popularity. Back in 2020, Nightfood launched its pickle-flavored ice cream, blending the tart and salty taste with sweet dairy. Since then, a steady flow of brands has employed the refreshing zing savor into goodies, with 2024 ushering in several of these new items.
Cheryl’s Cookies Dill Pickle Cookie
Columbus-based bakery Cheryl Cookie’s introduced its Dill Pickle Cookie in July 2024. This unusual treat is made using dill relish and topped with a special pickle buttercream frosting.
Goldfish Spicy Dill Pickle Crackers
Introduced in June 2024, Goldfish’s latest Spicy Dill Pickle flavor blends the tanginess of dill with red chili peppers. Retailers across the country are now carrying these limited-edition fish-shaped crackers.
Baked by Melissa x Claussen Pickle Cupcake
In one of the oddest collaborations, the Claussen pickle brand and Baked by Melissa collaborated on pickle-flavored mini cupcakes. The cake batter is made with pickles and topped with buttercream of the same tanginess, completed with red and white sprinkles.
French’s Creamy Dill Pickle Mustard Spread
Mustard and pickles are not a completely foreign concept on burgers and salads. However, blending them together for a spread is certainly different. French’s Creamy Dill Pickle Mustard Spread began hitting the shelves in March 2024, providing a new sour spin on the already tangy condiment.
With July being National Pickle Month now is a perfect time for culinary thrill seekers to explore these fresh options.
