Reuben Pretzel Bites have a mini open-faced sandwich stacked on a pretzel cracker with the mouth feel of grilled pretzel bread.

Reuben Pretzel Bites is my recipe of the day for the blogging event National Pretzel Month. We’re sharing pretzel recipes of all kinds.

In my case, I am sharing an appetizer baked on a pretzel thin cracker. Because who doesn’t love a Reuben? Piles of corned beef with gooey melted Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and a schmear of Thousand Island dressing? Yum.
It’s a concept I can really get on board with. The end result was a little different than expected though. Instead of the cracker remaining brittle crisp, it gained a chewy texture. Very similar to the bread on a grilled Reuben. With just a hint of crunch.
Of course if you want full-on crispy, you can stack the meat and melt it then slide onto the cracker. But I admit I love it just the way they are.

Reuben Pretzel Bites
Perfect as a game-day appetizer, you can make as few or as many that you want or need. It’s great along cold German beer for the adults or soft drinks for the kids.
And beware- they are a touch more filling than they might appear. So a few of these with some chips or deli potato salad would also make a nice lunch.
