But, she has done kiwi, cantaloupe, and even limes. She admits pickles get the biggest reaction.
Speights said all the pickle juice is contained in the pickle when she freezes them.
"If you’re not a pickle person, you’re not going to like it," she laughed.
In addition to just dipping the fruit and pickles in a liquid candy coating, she then rolls them around in a ground-up candy coating afterward.
