Gather your ingredients.Thoroughly dry the pickle slices with paper towels. This will help the chocolate to stick.
Place the pickle slices in a bowl and sprinkle over the sugar. Toss to coat the pickles and leave for 15 minutes.
Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring in between. Then stir through the oil.
Dip the pickle slices halfway into the melted chocolate, then place them onto some parchment paper. If adding flaky sea salt, sprinkle this over while the chocolate is still melted.
Put the chocolate covered pickle slices in the fridge for about 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
