Octopus Hot Dogs are fun for kids and adults! Learn how to make octopus hot dogs for your next party!

These Octopus hot dogs are always a hit at parties, especially children’s parties! It’s easy to make a bunch in a large pot of boiling water. You can prep these ahead of time and then boil them right before the party. You can even do this same method with mini hot dogs for topping things like spaghetti or mac and cheese. Kids will get a kick out of this fun take on the otherwise classic hot dog.

Serve with your favorite condiments and let the kids even have a fun hot dog bar with them!

Most common toppings for hot dogs:

  • Mustard
  • Chili
  • Ketchup
  • Sourkraut
  • Red onions
  • Relish
