Bacon Wrapped Pickle Dippers | Savory, Smoky, and Totally Addictive


Whether you’re tailgating, hosting game day, or just need a mouthwatering snack, these **Bacon Wrapped Pickle Dippers** bring the ultimate crunch-meets-creamy combo. Salty crackers, tangy pickles, and a whipped cream cheese spread seasoned with SPF 7 — all wrapped in crisp, smoky bacon and finished with a dusting of All Purp.

Smoked to perfection (or baked if needed), these dippers disappear fast — so go ahead and double the batch. This is flavor that *doesn’t* sit around.

Yields: 12 Crackers | Prep Time: 10 Minutes | Total Time: 60 Minutes

INGREDIENTS:

12 Ritz-style crackers
8 oz whipped cream cheese
12 large, thick-cut pickle chips
1 lb thin-cut bacon
2 tbsp All Purp
1 tbsp SPF 7

🔥 PROCESS:

1 | Mix the SPF 7 into the whipped cream cheese until fully combined and flavorful.

2 | Cut all the bacon slices in half. You’ll need 2 half-slices per cracker.

3 | Pat your pickles dry using paper towels to help the bacon crisp properly.

4 | Spread the cream cheese mixture on each cracker and place a pickle chip on top.

5 | Wrap each cracker tightly with 2 half-slices of bacon in a crisscross pattern.

6 | Place all dippers on a wire rack and season the tops generously with All Purp.

7 | Preheat your smoker or oven to 350°F. (Use a smoker with fruitwood like apple or cherry for bonus flavor.)

8 | Cook for about 45 minutes, or until bacon is crisp and browned to your liking.

9 | Rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot, plain or with a spicy dipping sauce.

10 | Watch them disappear. Then regret not making more.

💣 Pro Tips for Next-Level Pickle Dippers:
  • Use thick-cut pickles: They hold their texture and stand up to the heat better.

🧄 Why You’ll Love These Bacon Wrapped Pickle Dippers:
  • Crunchy, creamy, tangy & smoky: The flavor combo hits every craving.
