Mini chipotle corn dogs with blackberry honey mustard are the perfect game day snack. Because we all love a crunchy corn dog dipped in mustard. Furthermore bringing friends and family together on the big game with good food is the best. Especially connecting with others with memories of family favorite recipes. Do you have fond memories of eating snow cones, cotton candy and corn dogs? Carnival and fair food was the best junk food and still can be. In fact growing up in a small town, I really looked forward to summer when the carnivals, fairs and the circus came to town Because that meant there was something to do besides play doorbell ditch or toilet paper your friend’s house to kill time… ha, ha (ok I did it once, maybe twice)

Ingredients
Blackberry Honey Mustard
- 1/3 cup seedless blackberry jam

Mini Chipotle Corn Dogs
- 8.5 ounce corn muffin mix
- 2/3 cup flour
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 canned chipotle chilies in adobo, minced
- 15 (1 1/2 lbs) thin hot dogs, I like the American classic wieners
- vegetable oil

Instructions
-

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the corn muffin mix, flour, salt, egg, buttermilk and the minced chipotle chilies until well mixed, set aside.
-
Preheat oil in deep fryer or deep pot like a Dutch oven to 375 F
-
While oil is heating, cut the hot dogs in half and skewer the flat end and push the skewer ¾ way up the hot dog.
-
working in small batches of 4 to 5, dip each one in the corn bread batter until well coated and carefully place each corn dog into the hot oil and fry for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally so all sides cook evenly.
