Let me share my new favorite way to serve buffalo chicken dip - baked right in a bread bowl! It's become my go-to for game days parties and weekend get-togethers. I'm especially excited to debut it at my Super Bowl party this weekend. Even though my new house isn't quite finished I couldn't resist hosting and serving up all my favorite buffalo-style treats!

A New Twist on Buffalo Dip

This year I wanted to give my classic buffalo chicken dip a fun makeover. While I'll still have my usual spread of Buffalo Pickle Chips Cheddar Biscuits and Honey Mustard Meatballs serving the dip in a bread bowl takes it to a whole new level.

How The Idea Was Born

The inspiration came from my Caramelized Pear and Brie Bread Bowl that everyone goes crazy for during the holidays. After making it three times for parties last month I started wondering what else would work in a bread bowl. Of course buffalo chicken dip was the perfect answer!

Perfect Party Solution

Since we always serve bread with buffalo chicken dip anyway baking it right in the bowl just makes sense. Plus cleanup is so much easier - no baking dish to wash afterwards which in my book makes it the perfect party recipe!
