The Wienerschnitzel eatery has recently added 'Mini Corn Dog' snacks to its menu. These cheap and tasty treats are only 25 cents per Mini Corn Dog and they pack a huge flavor.

While many consumers crave delicious deep fried snacks now and then, there are few places that serve only snack-sized version. The Wienerschnitzel is catering to the demand for an easy deep fried snack that will eliminate cravings without breaking the bank.

Corn dogs been a long-time favorite at carnivals and state fairs, but there is rarely an option to have a corn dog on regular restaurant menus. Whether consumers want one or 20, Wienerschnitzel is letting each individual decide with snack-sized options that are more guilt-free than the traditional ballpark treat.
