Blackwell places the muffin pan in an oven that’s been preheated to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. She lets the dish cook for 10 minutes.

When the corn dog bites are ready, they can be served with ketchup, mustard or any other topping that’s preferred.

Blackwell opted to stick with a Fourth of July theme and used star-shaped sauce dishes to serve her family’s corn dog dressings.
