Notes
I used petite dill pickles from my fridge, but next time, I might try sandwich slices for a better cheese-to-pickle ratio.
The amount of cheese you use will up to the size of the pickle. This is a very forgiving recipe, so you can make a larger cheese circle for a larger pickle. Once you make it a few times, you will get the hand of how you love this snack.
