Notes
Softening the cream cheese before mixing ensures a smooth texture. You can microwave the dip for 3-4 minutes as a quicker alternative to baking. Adjust buffalo sauce amount to control spice level. The dip can be made ahead and refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 4 days and freeze for up to 2 months.
