Leftover Halloween Candy Corn Dogs

Leftover Halloween Candy Corn DogsI know that I’m referring to these as Leftover Halloween Candy Corn Dogs, but in reality I guess I should call them something more like “the candy I decided to keep for myself and not give out to the kids that came to my door during trick-or-treat corn dogs” instead.

The concept behind these is pretty simple — instead of skewering a hot dog, dipping it in corn dog batter and deep frying it I decided to do the exact same thing, but with candy bars instead.

For my corn dogs I used fun size Snickers and 3 Musketeers bars, which are pretty similar, but you could also go the route that I did with the sausages when I made my Racing Sausages Corn Dog and just put a ton of different candy on each stick so you get a little something different with each bite.

I wasn’t even sure if this idea would work at all since I sort of just assumed that the candy bars would melt too quickly causing everything to just disintegrate into a huge mess in my deep fryer, but I froze them prior to frying which seemed to do the trick. Some of the chocolate did soak into the breading of the corn dogs though, but that just made them taste even better, while the nougat center of both candy bars I used got nice and gooey, but stayed pretty much intact. I then finished off my corn dogs by sprinkling powdered sugar on top of them and dipping them in chocolate syrup.

These are basically the perfect dessert to eat after you pound down a couple Breakfast Burrito Corn Dogs, Pulled Pork Corn Dogs, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Corn Dogs or Macaroni and Cheese Corn Dogs!
