Spooktacular Buffalo Chicken Dip

Print
Everyone loves Buffalo Chicken Dip, but when you follow our recipe to turn this classic dip into a ghostly graveyard, they will love it even more.  It is super-easy to make the spooky decorations.  You can follow our lead or try using something else like celery stalks or broccoli florets for the trees.  This is also a perfect dish to let the kids help decorate!

Instructions

Stir the cream cheese in a 9-inch deep dish pie plate with a fork or whisk until smooth. Stir in the dressing, hot sauce and blue cheese. Stir in the chicken.
Bake at 350°F. for 20 minutes or until the chicken mixture is hot. While the dip is baking, write spooky epitaphs on 6 Harvest Wheat crackers using black edible-ink marker.
Stir the baked dip.  Stand the cracker tombstones in the dip.  Sprinkle the chopped lettuce and olives around the tombstones.  Stand the kale leaves in the dip to make trees.  Serve with the remaining crackers for dipping.
