Well, I tried making this twice. I used Jiffy corn muffin mix both times and simply made the muffins according to Jiffy's directions. (Their directions call for less milk.) I added the cheese and brown sugar, but that seemed a waste, because I didn't really taste either one. I could've left them out, probably. I took someone's tip and bought cheap all-beef hot dogs. In my first attempt at these, I sliced them up. They turned out okay that way. A little crumbly. I then wanted to see if I could make them really reminiscent of a corn dog. The second time I made them, I halved the hot dogs and put one in each muffin tin as the recipe suggested. And I made sure to go easy on the corn muffin batter, so they wouldn't - as one reviewer said - taste like a "corn muffin with a hot dog stuck in the middle." With both of my attempts at making these, the muffins crumbled too easily. You definitely have to eat them with a fork on a plate if you don't want to make a mess. With many forkfuls, I just ended up dipping bald hot dog in ketchup and eating crumbled muffin fragments by themselves. (I considered that maybe the reason they crumbled was because I used the Jiffy recipe, and that maybe the extra milk this recipe calls for are what makes them more dense. I don't know.) Overall, they tasted fine. But I don't think I'll attempt this recipe again. It just isn't that amazing. Both times, I just wished I'd had regular hot dogs instead.
