Notes

For an extra kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper to the dip mixture. You can also use blue cheese dressing instead of ranch for a more traditional Buffalo flavor. If preparing ahead, cover and refrigerate the assembled dip; bake just before serving. Enjoy this versatile dip as an appetizer or a party snack!
