Steps:
- Wearing rubber or latex gloves, trim tops off chiles. Working in batches, pulse chiles, bell peppers, and onion in a food processor until chopped into fine bits, about 1 minute per batch. Transfer to a nonreactive 3-quart pot.
- Stir sugar, vinegar, and salt into chile mixture and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring more frequently toward end of cooking to prevent scorching, until thickened, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Pour or ladle relish into clean, wide-mouth, half-pint jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe rims clean with a damp paper towel. Let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
- Apply clean lids. Enjoy immediately, store in fridge 2 to 3 weeks, or freeze up to 6 months.

These kid-friendly corn dog bites are too cute (and easy!) to not make for every movie night. After cutting hot dogs into thirds, all you have to do is coat them in flour and a simple batter, quickly fry them for a few minutes, then serve with your favorite condiments or dipping sauces. The best part? Because these are mini, you don't need to buy skewers!
