To start, you will need to prepare the hot dogs by slicing them into thin, long strips. This will give them the appearance of worms. You can also use a small knife to create ridges and bumps to make them look more realistic.
Next, fill three plastic squeeze bottles with ketchup, mustard, and a mixture of red, green, and blue food coloring. These will be used to create the "guts" and "blood" of the worms.
Place the prepared hot dog strips in a pan and cook them on medium-high heat until they start to curl and look like worms. Be sure to flip them occasionally to ensure they are cooked evenly.
As the hot dogs are finishing cooking, toast the hot dog buns in the oven or toaster. Once they are toasted, place a toothpick in one end of the bun to create a hole for the "worm" to go through.
Now comes the fun part! Take the cooked hot dog worms and place them through the hole in the bun, creating a "worm in a bun" effect. Use the squeeze bottles to drizzle ketchup, mustard, and food coloring over the worms to create a gory and gruesome look.
Finally, remove the toothpick and serve your halloween hot dog worms to your guests. Watch as they are both horrified and delighted by the creepy and delicious Halloween treat.
This recipe is not only perfect for Halloween parties, but it can also be a fun activity for kids to help with in the kitchen. Let them get creative with the food coloring and see what kind of monstrous worms they can come up with. It's a great way to get them excited about cooking and trying new foods.
