Oh man, I lived off the chili ones.

I was aware of the Frank 'n Stuffs when I was a kid, but sadly, never got to enjoy one. It would have solved the problem that I had at the time with trying to merge my love of cheese and hot dogs. I would try to roll a dog into a slice of deli cheese, but the cheese was too thin or dry and it would split, never forming the dog blanket that I envisioned. The Frank 'n Stuff dog would have solved this dilemma, though I can see how the scalding hot cheese lava, spewing from the core would be another challenge entirely. Still, I'd be willing to brave the molten innards and agree that Hormel should bring back the Frank 'n Stuff as a seasonal Halloween treat...or would it be more of a trick?

My brother was a big fan of Hormel chili, and of course chili dogs. I know I did not want to try these, but I don't remember if my brother ever got to experience them, if he did he would have loved them. Hormel and hot dogs was a go to after meal for a long time for him.
