Popular burger chain 'White Castle' recently expanded its summer menu to include miniature corn dogs. The new 'Corn Dog Nibblers' turn the classic batter-covered hot dog dish into a sweet bite-sized treat.
The Corn Dog Nibblers consists of tiny hot dogs, which are made from white chicken meat. The meat is then covered in a deep-fried coating of sweet honey cornbread. Alongside the miniature corn dogs, White Castle is also introducing a number of other bite-sized treats. One of these addition items is the Shrimp Nibblers, which feature butterfly shrimp enveloped in a crispy coating. The other menu addition is the Mac & Cheese Nibblers, which consists of cheddar cheese and macaroni stuffed inside of a crisp cheddar coating.
The new Nibblers will be available for a limited time only at participating White Castle locations.
