It’s snack time…..what do I fix? The kids will be home from school soon….what should I fix for a snack? Do you ever find yourself asking either of those questions? A corn dog is a quick and simple snack idea. I love adding a new twist to a normal snack, such as a corn dog, and turning it into something fun. That is why I thought a butterfly corn dog would be perfect for snack time.
When I alter a dish from the normal serving, my son is always asking questions. Today, his question was, “Mom, why did you make me a butterfly?”. I told him that I thought it was be something fun and different for him to eat. He agreed before the butterfly disappeared.
MY LATEST VIDEOS Making the butterfly is very quick and easy to make. A quick microwave cooking of a State Fair® corn dog and a few special touches turns a dog into a butterfly. You can find the State Fair® Corn Dogs in the freezer section, near the Jimmie Dean® Pancake and Sausage on a Stick.

A Fun snack idea using corn dogs!
Ingredients
- 1 State Fair® Corn Dog
- 4 triangle chips of your flavor choice
- 2 chow mein noodles
- Black edible marker
Instructions
- Cook your State Fair® Corn Dog according to the instructions.
- Once it has cooled, cut a slit down on side of the corn dog. Do this again on the other side. (this is where you place the wings)
- In each slit, place 2 chip corners inside. These are your wings.
- Take your chow mein noodles and push them into the top of the corn dog.
- Using your edible marker, make a happy face for your butterfly.
If your child is wanting something with a little bit of sweetness, try this butterfly Pancake & Sausage on a Stick.
This butterfly is very simple to make. All you need is Jimmy Dean Pancake and Sausage on a Stick and syrup. First you will need to heat up your Jimmy Dean Pancake and Sausage on a Stick. While that is cooking and cooling down, take your syrup and make 2 heart shapes to make the wings (having syrup in a squirt bottle works best for this). Have the tip of the hearts join together. Once the Pancake Sausage on a Stick is cool, use an edible marker to draw on a face. Place it on the plate where the 2 heart come together to make it look like a butterfly. So simple!
