1. For fellow Aussies, you can get American style hot dogs in the refrigerator section of Coles and Woolworths. Or at some butchers. If you can't find American style, any other hot dogs will do just fine as long as they are suitable for cooking on the BBQ/stove.

2. You should not need to trim the toothpicks if you are cooking them on the grill side of the BBQ as I find that the toothpicks poke through the grill so it's easy to brown them all over. It's not possible to do it in a frypan which is why the toothpicks need to be trimmed.

3. This can also be made in the OVEN. 375F/190C for around 20 minutes. (Reader tip!)

4.Nutrition per hot dog assuming 2/3 of the cheese sauce is used (because the recipe makes more than required).
