Even though there are many different claims as to who made the very first “corn dog,” it is thought that this beloved snack-food dates back to the 1920’s.  Despite its conception being shrouded in mystery, there is no doubt that the corn dog eventually enjoyed immense popularity in the late 1930’s and early 1940’s at the World’s Fair.  Nowadays, corn dogs have become a favorite treat for young and old, who no longer need to make a trip to the fair to enjoy this classic snack.  State Fair® Brand corn dogs are available at your local grocer and are made using the same delicious, fluffy, batter they have used for the last 60 years.

“State Fair® corn dogs come frozen and pre-cooked so you can easily warm them up in the oven,” Houk says.  “My son usually just pops them in the microwave for about a minute or so – it’s great for when he wants a quick snack after school.  The Balancing Act is a great opportunity to show parents how easy it is to capture not only their kid’s taste buds, but their imagination as well.”

To stimulate a child’s creative juices, Houk encourages viewers to prepare multi-colored cheese dips or try wrapping corn dogs in bacon for an even more savory flavor.  State Fair® corn dogs also come in a mini-size that is great for kid’s functions or as an appetizer for any get-together or party.   With a little creativity, Houk shows viewers how the mini’s can even be formed into fun designs, including scary fingers, creepy crawly spiders, and many more.  

Kids love corn dog creations, and they’re great for a number of different occasions.  Not only are they easy to make, they’re also delicious and a lot of fun to eat!  For more information, go to http://www.corndogs.com.
