Scale
Main Ingredients
- State Fair® Corn Dogs – 6 pieces
- Green food coloring – a few drops
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons water
Decorations
- Black olives – thinly sliced
- Peanut butter – for spreading
- Pretzel sticks – 12 sticks
- Candy googly eyes – 12 pieces
- Black tortilla chips – crushed, about 1/2 cup
Instructions
- Prepare Egg Wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg and water together to form an egg wash. Add a few drops of green food coloring until the mixture reaches a deep green shade.
- Coat Corn Dogs: Brush the green egg wash evenly over each corn dog, ensuring full coverage to create the Frankenstein skin color.
- Bake Corn Dogs: Place the coated corn dogs on a baking sheet and bake according to the package instructions, generally about 5 minutes at 375°F, until heated through.
- Prepare Hair Topping: While the corn dogs cool, crush the black tortilla chips finely and thinly slice black olives for facial details.
- Apply Peanut Butter and Hair: Once cooled, spread a layer of peanut butter atop each corn dog’s head area. Immediately press crushed tortilla chips onto the peanut butter to create Frankenstein’s hair texture.
- Attach Eyes: Dab a small amount of peanut butter behind each candy googly eye and press them onto the green corn dogs in place for eyes.
- Add Pretzel Bolts: Gently push a pretzel stick into each side of the head of Frankenstein’s monsters to resemble bolts.
- Detail Mouth and Scar: Use a toothpick to trace a mouth and scar lines on the corn dogs with peanut butter. Then, place the sliced olive strips onto the peanut butter lines to form the mouth and scar details.
Notes
- Ensure corn dogs are fully cooled before spreading peanut butter to avoid melting.
- Use a gentle hand when pressing pretzel sticks to avoid breaking corn dogs.
- If allergic to peanuts, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or cream cheese.
- For a more vibrant green, adjust food coloring drops gradually.
- These treats are best served fresh for optimal texture and appearance.
