Disney's Controversial PICKLE Corn Dog Just Got…a CHEETOS Upgrade?

Pickles and Corn Dogs — our favorite Halloween snacks.

We can’t wait for Halloween at Disneyland

Just kidding…kinda. We here at DFB love Halloween and sometimes wish we could celebrate it all year long. Lucky for us, Disney is celebrating Halfway to Halloween with some spooky eats and treats! So, let’s see how pickles and corn dogs will combine to bring some scary flavor to Disneyland!

To celebrate being halfway to one of our favorite holidays, Disney has conjured up some special snacks, including the Cheddar Pickle Dog from Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs in Downtown Disney! You can get it for $15.

There’s a LOT going on here

Now, you’ve probably heard of this snack before — it’s pretty divisive. If you loved it, you loved it. If you disliked it, you really disliked it. It’s a corn dog, except instead of just the hot dog being inside, there is a hot dog INSIDE of a pickle on the inside (a bit confusing, right?).

The regular Pickle Dog

You may still be wondering how in the world this snack would even be considered Halloween-related. Well, the spooky vibes come from the sprinkled cheddar cheese that provides that pop of orange!

Yowza that’s bright!

We’ve tried it before (without the cheddar cheese) and it was actually pretty good, but let’s see how it is with cheddar on the outside!

We’re a little nervous

This was actually pretty tasty! The pickle added a refreshing crunch to the corn dog, and the cheddar cheese with all of the other flavors made an amazing combo. We honestly wish there was another version of this minus the pickle, so that it was just a corn dog with the cheddar cheese, because that would be phenomenal!

That bright orange is a little intimidating

Now, this isn’t normal cheddar cheese, it’s more like Cheeto dust, so be aware of that. But, the addition of the cheddar dust did make this a very tasty and interesting snack. This IS very messy to eat, though. It’s hard to get a good bite with everything in it, so we’d suggest cutting the corndog before you dig in to make it a little easier.

SO much cheddar

If you aren’t a fan of pickles, we wouldn’t get this, though, because there is a strong pickle flavor. But, if you do like them, this should be a delicious snack for you!

A look inside

Oh yeah, and this baby comes with a peanut butter dipping sauce. You read that right, peanut butter on a pickle dog! It weirdly works together for some people. We enjoyed it on the regular pickle dog we had last year, but we didn’t like it as much on this cheese version — it definitely works better on the normal pickle dog!

Not big fans of the peanut butter combo

The Cheddar Pickle Dog will only be offered April 28th-May 1st, so if you’re passing through Downtown Disney during this time, you can pick up this very orange Halloween snack! Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney food news and updates.
