Notes

Recipe Tips: 
  • Let the cream cheese come to room temperature. It will mix more smoothly into the rest of the ingredients that way, and it will also melt faster!
  • Keep it warm on the go. If you bake your buffalo chicken dip in a dish, use a thermal carrier to keep your dish warm if you’re bringing it to a party. I love mine and use it often!

Crock Pot Method:
  1. Add ALL of the ingredients  into the slow cooker and turn on low for 3-4 hours.
  2. Once all of the ingredients are completely melted and heated through, give it a good stir.
  3. Next, switch the crockpot to the warm setting to keep this cheesy and spicy dip nice and creamy for your party!
