My husband is a dill pickle addict. And, honestly, I'm not too far behind him on that. -- Yes, we both adore pickles, and these cute and crunchy Dill Pickle Bites are such a fun and tasty way to enjoy them.

I first had these tasty bites several years ago when someone brought a big platter of them to a potluck. I had no idea what they were, except I could see there was a pickle in the middle. As a pickle lover, I had to try them, of course, and it was love at first bite.

Rolled up with seasoned cream cheese around tangy dill pickle slices, these bites are addictively delicious.

I later discovered these little bites are simply dill pickles wrapped in flattened slices of white bread that have been smeared with a layer of seasoned cream cheese. -- I know it sounds a little funky, but it's oh-sooooooo good!

Addictively good, as a matter of fact. Even if you aren't a dill pickle lover.

We also love these Dill Pickle Bites with a little twist to the original -- adding in a layer of salami wrapped around the pickle, which was inspired by my Mom. As a snack when I was growing up, Mom used to spread a bit of cream cheese on slices of salami and roll them up. I loved these little quick Salami & Cream Cheese Bites, and based on those, I figured why not try salami in these dill pickle bites, too?

And it worked deliciously.

Dill Pickle Bites Ingredients:

These simple little bites come together with just a few simple ingredients. To whip up a batch of Dill Pickle Bites, you'll need:

• Baby dill pickles - The star of the show. Baby dills (rather than full-sized dill pickles) are just the perfect size for filling out the center of these roll-ups.

• Cream cheese - The foundation of roll-ups' seasoned cream cheese spread. Either regular full-fat cream cheese or lower-fat Neufchatel work just fine.

• Mayonnaise - "Loosens" the cream cheese a bit and creates a creamy seasoned spread.

• Onion - A bit of grated onion provides nice background flavor to the bites' cream cheese spread. Grating the onion evenly disperses its flavor throughout the spread and prevents unpleasant onion chunks.

• Dried dill weed - Flavors the cream cheese spread, nicely complimenting the dill pickles. Fresh dill weed can be substituted for the dried.

• Black pepper - Amps up the flavor of the cream cheese spread.

• White bread - Basic white bread serves as the wrapper for the roll-ups. White whole wheat bread can be substituted just fine.

How to Make Dill Pickle Bites:

Whipping up Dill Pickle Bites is pretty easy. -- Who doesn't love a little bite that's both tasty and easy, right?

Get a batch started by mixing up a cream cheese filling flavored with a bit of dill and grated onion. I find the easiest way to grate onion is with a rasp grater that I place right over the bowl. If you don't have a rasp grater, a regular cheese grater will work.

To prep the roll-ups' wrappers, cut the crusts off slices of white bread, and then roll the bread flat with a rolling pin.  

Spread each flattened slice of bread with a little bit of the cream cheese mixture, and place a baby kosher dill pickle right smack in the middle.

Then roll the pickle up all snug and cozy.

Place the pickle roll-ups in the refrigerator overnight so the flavors get all happy together. Then slice each pickle roll-up into individual dill pickle bites.

Then you're ready to serve up a platter of these totally delicious Dill Pickle Bites. -- They're so good, they're totally addictive.
