Corn Dog Muffins

I'm not completely sure where I saw this idea (email? Txt from mom?  This was not a pinterest post - yet :)

I was not a fan of the original idea.  I love corn dogs.  Just ask my hips.  I eat them a lot.  They are quick and easy (I usually buy frozen), and very filling.  So, when I went to make these for a youth event I chopped up the hot dog instead of inserting a large piece into the middle (it's not just two year olds who choke on hot dogs!)

To begin with, dice your hot dog.

I diced an entire package.  Mix your corn muffin mix according to the directions.  I used a box of Jiffy since they were on sale for .30 each

We started off by putting the corn muffin mix into the muffin cup and adding the hotdog on top.

The mixing was getting too messy.

Then we tried putting the hotdog on bottom.

Then I had a non-blonde moment.  Just mix the hotdogs into the muffin mix!

Bake according to the package directions and enjoy.  I never got a photo - other than these two.  My kids inhaled the first batch!
