# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in literally ten minutes flat, which means less time prep and more time actually watching the game
  • The pickle crunch cuts through all that rich buffalo heat so you can keep eating without your mouth catching fire
02 -
  • This dip actually tastes better after it sits for about 30 minutes, so make it first and let the flavors hang out together
  • If you're making this ahead, stir it again before serving because the pickle juice tends to settle at the bottom
03 -
  • If you want it spicy without being overwhelming, add a pinch of cayenne instead of doubling the buffalo sauce
  • Leftover dip stuffed inside a hollowed out bread bowl and baked for 20 minutes will change your life
