Are you just about ready for some football? I know the big game is a week away, but I’m sure you are already trolling the Internet looking for the perfect Super Bowl party appetizer. Well, look no more my friend; I have just what you need: Buffalo Chicken Dip Truffles. It has all the qualities of the awesome dip you know and love, but now it’s portable, mess-free, and covered in chocolate!

Buffalo Chicken Dip Truffles

Ingredients

• 4oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/4c Ranch dressing
• 1/4c hot sauce (I used Frank’s recipe and hot sauce.)
• 1/4c shredded cheddar cheese
• 12.5oz canned white meat chicken in water, drained
• white chocolate bark

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Combine cream cheese, dressing, hot sauce and cheese. Stir in chicken.
3. Bake 20 min. and refrigerate until cold.
4. Scoop into 2t balls and put in freezer to harden.
5. Melt baking bark, coat chicken dip, and put in fridge to set.

I think if you come at this truffle with the knowledge that it is buffalo chicken dip coated in chocolate, you will be pleasantly surprised. The bark creates a lovely little carrying case for the dip if you aren’t a chip kinda dude. Or, if you are, the truffles nestle snugly into a Tostitos Scoop for a fabulously high dip-to-chip ratio.

I say go for it. Yours will certainly be the most talked about appetizer of the evening.
