Description

A spooky Halloween buffalo chicken dip with cream cheese, orange cheddar and Buffalo sauce, baked in 15 minutes and decorated like a jack-o'-lantern. An easy, crowd-pleasing Halloween party appetizer.

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound cooked chicken, shredded (about 3 cups)
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce, plus more to taste
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 8 ounces orange cheddar cheese, shredded (about 2 cups), divided
  • 1 short celery rib, plus more for dipping
  • 1/2 cup dark tortilla chips, blue corn or black bean

Instructions

  • Preheat: Heat the oven to 400°F.
  • Mix: In a large bowl, stir together the chicken, Buffalo sauce, cream cheese and 1 1/2 cups of the cheddar until combined.
  • Shape: Spread the mixture into a round or oval baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar over the top.
  • Bake: Bake for about 15 minutes, until hot and bubbling around the edges.
  • Rest: Let the dip cool for 5 minutes so the cheese sets.
  • Decorate: Press the celery into the top edge as a pumpkin stem. Break the tortilla chips into eyes, a nose and a mouth, then press them gently into the cheese.
  • Serve: Serve warm with extra tortilla chips, celery and carrot sticks.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Round or oval baking dish

Notes

Decorate after baking so the chips don't burn. To make ahead, assemble without the topping cheese, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, then add the cheese and bake for 20 minutes. For milder heat, use mild Buffalo sauce or start with 1/4 cup. Store leftovers, without the decorations, in the fridge for up to 4 days.
