Description
This Halloween Buffalo Chicken Dip is the ultimate spooky party appetizer! Creamy, cheesy, and topped with adorable ghost-shaped cheese slices, it’s a festive dish that’s quick, fun, and guaranteed to wow your guests.
Ingredients
2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
½ cup buffalo sauce (adjust for spice level)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup ranch dressing
6–8 slices white cheese (for ghost shapes)
Black decorating gel or mini olives (for eyes 👀)
Tools: Ghost cookie cutter, mixing bowl, baking dish, spatula
Instructions
In a large bowl, toss shredded chicken with buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
Soften cream cheese in the microwave for 15–20 seconds if needed, then spread it evenly in your baking dish.
Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture over the cream cheese and smooth it out.
Drizzle with ranch dressing and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
Use a ghost cookie cutter to cut shapes from white cheese slices and place them on top of the dip.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15–20 minutes or until bubbly.
Once out of the oven, dot each ghost with decorating gel or olive pieces for eyes.
Serve warm with chips, crackers, or veggies.
Notes
Don’t have a ghost cutter? Use any Halloween shape or cut freehand—wonky ghosts are even cuter.
Make it ahead: Assemble the dip, cover, and refrigerate. Bake right before serving.
Adjust the spice level easily with mild or hot buffalo sauce.
Perfect with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggie sticks.
