Corn dog muffins are so simple to make because you start with a simple boxed cornbread mix. Cheese and chopped hot dogs are swirled in (use Lil’ Smokies, if you’d like), and you can put out ketchup and mustard for dipping. They’re the perfect sort of finger food. People always think they’re a good thing to put out for the children at the party… but the adults end up gobbling them all up!
Regular corn dogs or corn dog bites are deep fried. Corn Dog Muffins are baked, and they’re so much better anyways. Cornbread with a few chunks of hot dog and some cheese mixed in. Who doesn’t love that? I like to put out an array of dipping “sauces.” My favorites are sour cream and honey mustard. Most people will probably go for the ketchup and mustard though. These are always a bit hit at my parties! If you’re looking for more kid-friendly appetizer recipes, you might also enjoy my Pizza Pinwheels or these Homemade Soft Pretzel Bites. Easy Lil’ Smokies, Puff Pastry Bacon Pinwheels and Texas Tortilla Roll Ups are also fun choices for kids!
