I’m a sucker for hot dishes during the winter, anything from chili, to soup, to delicious and warm dips. Plus, all of those things can usually be made in a crock pot, which makes prep time minimal and the whole process pretty simple.
With that being said, with winter in full swing here, I’ve been on a bit of a dip kick. While I have been experimenting with different dips more and more, my personal favorite remains buffalo chicken dip, so I thought I would share the recipe!

I like my buffalo dip spicy, but you can turn down the heat by opting for a milder sauce or adding more ranch. It is absolutely delicious with celery or even carrots, and it’s a huge crowd pleaser!
Plus, it’s easily made in the crock pot if you need to leave it for the day. Just add all the ingredients in crock pot and keep it on low for a while!
