Shrunken Pretzel Bun Sliders

Auntie Anne’s is Offering Pretzel Slider Melts in Two Tasty Flavors

— September 10, 2019 — Lifestyle
Following yesterday's news that Burger King Canada is serving up pretzel bun burgers, Auntie Anne’s has debuted its own Pretzel Slider Melts.

Just in time for Oktoberfest, Auntie Anne’s has debuted two new limited-edition Pretzel Slider Melts. The sliders come in two different varieties, the first of which is the Chicken Bacon Ranch Pretzel Slider Melt. The bacon ranch variety consists of a grilled chicken breast, strips of crispy bacon, provolone cheese, and ranch dressing, all sandwiched between two fluffy pretzel buns. There is also a Chicken BBQ Pretzel Slider Melt, which tops the same pretzel bun with a grilled chicken breast, cheddar cheese, and BBQ sauce. Both sliders on the smaller side of a traditional sandwich, making them a great snack option.
