Candied Hot Dogs on a stick for kids!




If you have kids you'll know that they get tired of things real quick. Our 6 year old Ty was getting sick of plain hot dogs, so I had to sweeten things up a bit. I ended up loving them myself! For this I ended up using hot dogs that had already been grilled. We have kids over a lot so we always have lot's of hot dogs left over.


Ingredients


- Hot Dogs
- Skewers
- 1 plate filled with Maple Syrup
- 1 plate filled with Brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg 

Directions
Sorry I don't have a lot of pictures but I just threw these together. They we're so good I had to post them up. Anyways, Skewer up your Hot Dogs. Take a sharp knife and score the outside of the dog many times but not too deep. Just enough to create a rough surface so everything sticks to it.
Roll the dogs in the Maple syrup, then in the Brown sugar mixture. Coat them with as much as you can!



Once you have them rolled up, I would stick them on a paper plate in the fridge for about 10 or 15 minutes to harden up the glaze. Some will fall off, it's not a huge deal! If you know another trick, feel free and bust it out.
Once they have sat in the fridge for a little bit, toss them on the grill. Grill them until the glaze has formed a nice caramelized outer surface. 

  
The kids will love them. 



Here's some of the kids I love to feed! Our good friends the Neely's, and my wife Angela, and son Tyler are in the top right wearing red!
