When my son was little he used to get excited for game day. He wasn't really interested in the game itself but very much enjoyed the variety of foods I would put out to nibble on.
This year he asked if we could make a few things, mozzarella sticks and corn dogs. The mozzarella sticks disappeared so fast I only got one picture but we made a bunch of the corn dogs so I was able to get a few quick snaps.
I found the corn dog recipe on the Taste of Home site. The batter comes together quickly, but we did have a bit of a hard time getting it to stick to the sausages. We added a smidge more milk to thin it out and that helped a lot.
We had a great time making them but he still didn't stick around for the game. But I did hear him bragging to his gaming buddies online about the awesome snacks he made.
I had mine with some jalapeno ketchup and maple mustard. They'd also be great with a drizzle of hot honey. It was fun getting into the kitchen with my son and I look forward to what he requests next!
