The Frank\u2019s RedHot gives it that nostalgic buffalo flavor, while the cream cheese and ranch make it balanced and tone down the fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">We serve it with tortilla chips, but you could do celery sticks, or toasted baguette rounds. And don\u2019t be surprised when everyone crowds around the bowl before dinner\u2019s even started. I&#8217;ve even made chicken wraps with this, buffalo chicken dip quesadillas, and I even once made chicken dip tostadas wher eI bough tostada shells and topped it with the chicken dip, diced lettuce, tomato, onion, and a drizzle of ranch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chocolate Torte \u2014 The French Dessert You NEED to Try<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">This one deserves a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">If you haven\u2019t tried this French dessert, you NEED to.
