Corn Dog Muffins

I made these corn dog muffins from a recipe I found on Heavenly Homemakers way back in June for Relay for Life.  I wanted something quick and portable for us to eat in between talking and walking.   Blockette just loves room temp corn dogs, so I figured this hand sized version would be perfect for us to chomp on the go.       

The muffins were just ok. I made way more than I needed, and the muffins sat out all night so I ended up pitching the leftovers, just to be safe.  It was a really buggy night and who knows what sort of meal or home the cooties had made in the corn dogs.

I think the cornbread recipe was just a bit too healthy tasting to be a winner.  I don't think I'll make the healthy whole wheat version again.  Whole wheat in cornbread, well, just doesn't taste right.

I'm not ready to scrap this recipe completely yet.  I think this recipe would be a total winner if I used Jiffy cornbread mix to make the muffin part.  Also I think chopping up the hotdogs so that each bite has a bit of hot dog in it, instead of just the center, is the way to go as well.  I'll give those things a try next time!
