These Mini Corn Dog Cake Pops take only four ingredients and four minutes to have the perfect kid-friendly lunch or snack to go!
My girls love corndogs and I am always looking for easy, quick snacks to feed them when they come home from school to tide them over until dinner.
We are not big "snack food" people, so I need REAL food that is easy and small enough to be a "snack." Well, today I found THE perfect one! And they are FABULOUS!
This morning while perusing Pinterest I ran across this Pin from MoneySavingMom.com:
My first thought.... I CAN DO THAT IN THE CAKE POP MAKER!!
Jiffy Mix corn bread is a staple for corn dogs - it has just enough sweetness and stays moist.
One of the reason I love these Corn Dog Cake Pops so much for kids is that you can cut the hot dog pieces teen tiny for younger kids or larger for bigger kids.
You can use any brand of hot dog that you want - just make sure you cut your hot dog pieces small enough to be bite size for your little ones.
Paired up with another favorite - Ore Idea Tater Tots - with some Ketchup and a glass of milk, and we have a perfect, nutritious snack in under 10 minutes!
These would also be very easy to make in large batches and freeze in the Zip Lock Snack Size freezer bags for the girls to grab on the go. Also easy to pack in lunches - there is no mess!
Mini Corn Dog Cake Pops

Close tightly and cook for 4 minutes.
Gently remove each pop with the tool included with your Cake Pop Maker.
Enjoy!

Wow great idea!! Babycakes needs to start paying you! I'm going to have to try those next week. (I'm out of hotdogs)
Rhea says

lorrie says
They look great and fun and super easy to make...but really to call them a nutritious snack...I don't see how those could ever be nutritious..but hey a wonderful party type food.
admin says
Well, I mean more nutritious than chips or a Little Debbie cake or something. They certainly arent carrots and apples lol
Shasta says
Okay, I don't know why Babycakes hasn't sponsored you already lol!

Oh Great Cakepop Ideas
Sue says
Great Idea!! I saw the same pin and repinned on pinterest. My daughter is getting the babycakes cakepop maker for Christmas. We will definitely do this with tofu dogs 🙂
Laura says
I am so excited about all of these cake pop posts! I got the baby cakes thingie at Christmas and I love it I can't wait to make the pancakes and sausage and the corn dogs!

How well do these freeze and are they just as good reheated (in the microwave I assume). My son's birthday is coming up and with all I have to do it would make things easier to prepare them ahead of time and just warm them up.
admin says
Hey Deborah! I froze 6 at a time in the Ziplock snack bags and they were great! I could nuke them in the bag for 25 seconds and voila! A snack!
Robin says
Wow! I was looking up some cake pop recipes that would be quick and easy to make for my parents (their cake pop maker has been used exactly once, when I made them glazed blueberry doughnut holes) and I think this might be the perfect thing! never would've thought about doing this!
Thank you!
lindsay says
Using a mix sounds easy! but I love to be difficult. I wonder if i can use a homemade corn bread recipe instead of jiffy! Ideas ladies??
Lynsey says
Hey Lindsay! I think as long as your recipe "rises" and isnt too heavy... the problems I have had with homemade mixes are they they do not rise properly, so they still cook, but they look like little UFOs and do not puff up into a round ball like they should 😉 (they are still tasty and cute though!)
Alexa Fouts says
This is so cute!!! I never thought of making corn dogs. I just got the cake pop maker that you put in the oven, so would the amount of time that I bake it be different? your donut recipe will be the first I'll try and then these adorable corn dogs.

Creative and fun way to enjoy dinner!! Love it!
