Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Mini cocktail sausages
- 20 pieces Pretzel sticks
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese sauce
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 drop Yellow food coloring (optional)
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat the cheddar cheese sauce over medium-low heat.
Add 2 tablespoons of milk to thin the sauce slightly and stir well. For an extra-yellow, ear-wax-like appearance, stir in a drop of yellow food coloring (optional).
Cut or snap each pretzel stick in half so each piece resembles a miniature cotton swab handle.
Spray a non-stick skillet lightly with cooking spray and warm the mini cocktail sausages over medium heat for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally to heat evenly.
Take each warmed mini sausage and skewer it on one end of a pretzel stick, being careful not to break the pretzel. Repeat with all sausages.
Dip the opposite end of the mini sausage into the warm cheese sauce, ensuring that a blob of cheese sticks onto the sausage to create the 'ear wax' effect.
Place each completed 'Ear Wax Wiener' onto a platter to let the sauce cool slightly and set.
Serve the platter immediately for the full spooky effect. Enjoy!
