We shy away from using clichés regarding the addictiveness of dishes here at Food Republic. We'd be rather surprised, however, if you didn't report back with something along the lines of, "It says it serves eight but it may as well have have said one" after putting together this buffalo chicken dip. Exceedingly simple to make and even easier to enjoy, the dip packs in just the right amount of heat and is an ideal creation for Super Bowl Sunday. Be warned that you may want to double everything, just in case.
