# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The vinegar from pickles actually intensifies the buffalo flavor while cooling down the heat
  • It comes together in literally ten minutes but tastes like something you babysat all afternoon
02 -
  • If your cream cheese isnt soft enough, the dip will have tiny stubborn lumps no matter how long you mix it
  • The dip thickens up in the fridge, so stir it before serving if it has been sitting for a while
03 -
  • Wrapping your serving bowl in a warm damp towel for 5 minutes before serving makes the dip extra creamy
  • Double the recipe because it disappears faster than you expect
