How to Make Reindeer Corn Dogs
1. Warm the corn dogs: Heat them according to the directions on the package. You can make them in the microwave or oven, but I prefer the oven for a crispier finish.
2. Break the pretzels: Carefully snap each mini pretzel in half to make two antlers per corn dog. They don't need to be perfectly even.
3. Add antlers: Place the broken ends of the pretzel halves on top of the corn dog for antlers.
4. Place the eyes: Press two candy eyes onto each corn dog. If they don't stick well, you can use a bit of ketchup or mustard on the back to make them stick.
5. Make the nose: Use a small spoon to add a little ketchup onto the corn dog for Rudolph's red nose.
6. Serve right away: These taste best while the corn dogs are still warm.
Tips for Rudolph Corn Dogs
Tip 1: Let the corn dogs cool a bit before adding candy eyes so they won't slide off.
Tip 2: If the pretzels don't stick, you can use a toothpick to make a small hole for them.
Tip 3: If you don't want to use candy, you can use black olives or sliced grapes for the eyes instead.
FAQs for Christmas Corn Dog Snacks
It's best to make these right before serving so the pretzels stay crisp and the candy eyes don't slide. You can heat the corn dogs in advance, then assemble just before eating.
Mini chocolate chips or dots of mustard will work in a pinch, though they may not be as sturdy.
If you need to store the corn dogs, remove the pretzels and eyes first. Store the corn dogs in the refrigerator and reheat them before adding decorations again.
