Pickle-Flavored Corn Dogs

Trader Joe's Perfectly Pickled Pups are a Terrifically Tangy Treat

— March 25, 2023 — Lifestyle
Just when you thought that Trader Joe's had already pickled everything under the sun, the brand has announced the launch of its new Perfectly Pickled Pups.

To create its new Perfectly Pickled Pups, Trader Joe's started with the same Mini Uncured Beef Franks used to create its popular Parmesan Pastry Pups. The pint-sized wieners are then infused with a tangy dill-pickle flavor through the use of pickling ingredients like salt, sugar, vinegar, onion, garlic, and dill weed. The pickled mini hot dogs are then coated in a mixture of batter and breadcrumbs that feature even more pickle flavor.

To enjoy the Perfectly Pickled Pups, all you need to do is pop them in an air fryer or conventional oven. The result is a bite-sized treat that is, as the brand describes, "crispy on the outside, tender and beefy on the inside, and perspicuously pickle-flavored."
