Ingredients
  • 9 mini corn dogs
  • 18 chow mein noodles or potato sticks
  • 2 dots ketchup
Instructions
  1. Bake mini corn dogs on baking sheet according to package instructions.
Corn Dog Centipede

  1. Line up 9 corn dogs widthwise into a squiggly line for a centipede.

  2. Press two long chow mein noodles (or potato sticks) into the first corn dog to create antennae.
  3. Press two long, but shorter chow mein noodles (or potato sticks) into the last corn dog to create the back legs.
  4. Then on all remaining corn dogs, press one chow mein noodle (or potato stick) on either side, creating legs.

  5. If needed, place in a 200-degree oven to keep warm until you are ready to serve.

  6. Before serving, add two ketchup eyes.
Corn Dog Caterpillars

  1. Line up 4 or 5 corn dogs lengthwise so that each section is longer rather than wider.

  2. Press two long chow mein noodles (or potato sticks) into the first corn dog to create antennae.
  3. Attach three chow mein noodle legs for each body segment and have them curved toward the ground.

  4. If needed, place in a 200-degree oven to keep warm until you are ready to serve.

  5. Just before serving add ketchup eyes.
Recipe Notes

Note: don't bake the corn dogs at 350 degrees with the appendages attached as the chow mein noodles or potato sticks will burn.
