Ingredients
Scale

- In a large bowl, toss shredded chicken with buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
- Soften cream cheese in the microwave for 15–20 seconds if needed, then spread it evenly in your baking dish.
- Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture over the cream cheese and smooth it out. Drizzle with ranch dressing.
- Use a ghost cookie cutter to cut shapes from white cheese slices and arrange them on top.
