# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 40 minutes, so you can throw it together even when friends text last minute.
  • The balance of creamy cheese and bold buffalo sauce hits every craving at once without feeling too heavy.
  • Leftovers reheat beautifully, and yes, Ive eaten this straight from the fridge at midnight more than once.
02 -
  • Do not skip softening the cream cheese, or youll end up with a lumpy dip that no amount of stirring will fix.
  • Taste the buffalo sauce before adding it all, some brands are significantly spicier than others and you can always add more heat later.
  • If the dip looks too thick before baking, stir in a tablespoon or two of milk to loosen it up without losing that creamy texture.
03 -
  • Use a hand mixer to blend the cream cheese mixture if you want it ultra smooth and fluffy, it makes a noticeable difference in texture.
  • Let the dip rest for 5 minutes after baking so it thickens slightly and doesnt slide off your chip, trust me on this one.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, and reheat in the oven or microwave until warm and gooey again.
