Description
The perfect spooky party appetizer! This creamy, spicy buffalo chicken dip is topped with ghost-shaped cheese and baked to bubbly perfection—your guests will love every bite.
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 ghosts)
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.
Use a ghost cookie cutter to cut shapes from white cheese slices and arrange them on top.
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 bits for eyes. Serve warm.
Notes
No ghost cutter? Freehand the shapes with a knife for a handmade touch.
Pair with Halloween snacks like Rice Krispie Treat Ghosts or Crescent Roll Witch Hats for a complete spooky spread.
Can be made ahead and reheated just before serving.
