Our Ham and Cheese Skewers recipe couldn’t be easier to make! Kids and adults will love these snacks that are great for travel days, hiking snacks or fun appetizers.
They are PERFECT for camping! There is absolutely no waste because you eat the pretzel skewer. Which means no utensils or plates to clean up, and no wooden skewers to have to throw away.

How to Make Ham and Cheese Skewers
Makes 8 kabobs
Ingredients
- 8 pretzel sticks
- 4 slices deli ham, each cut into 4 strips
- 7 slices colby jack cheese, quartered
Directions
Roll up the cut strips of ham.
Push the pretzel stick through a slice of cheese and a roll of ham, alternating between the meat and the cheese.
I used three slices of cheese and two rolls of ham on each of my pretzel skewers.
Eat as soon as possible. The moisture in the ham and cheese can cause the pretzels to soften. Refrigerating will also cause the pretzels to become soft.
