If you love twists on classic recipes as much as I do, Jalapeno Popper Crescent Cups, Ranch Taco Bites, Deviled Egg Dip, Mini Cheese Ball Bites, and Pretzel Pigs in a Blanket need to be on your list too!

Why you’ll love this recipe:

These mini crescent bites are packed with creamy, spicy goodness that’s sure to impress! Each buffalo filled crescent cup has a savory blend of cream cheese, spicy ranch, shredded chicken, and cheddar cheese all nestled into perfectly golden crescent cups! 

Buffalo Chicken Dip Crescent Cups are just the recipe you need for parties or game day! This is an easy buffalo chicken and crescent roll appetizer that is made in minutes and always a hit. If you love buffalo chicken dip, these savory cups will be your new favorite.

Ingredients you’ll need:

  • Crescent dough sheet
  • Softened cream cheese
  • Marzetti spicy ranch
  • Shredded rotisserie chicken
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Chopped green onion

Kick up your snack game with these irresistible buffalo chicken dip bites! Buffalo sauce is the perfect ingredient for game day appetizers… It’s slightly spicy but not too spicy, especially when paired with ranch dressing like in this recipe!

These Buffalo Chicken Crescent Cups are absolutely mouthwatering with the perfect amount of spice and ready in just 25 minutes! From the zing of buffalo sauce, the smooth and creamy cream cheese and buttery crescent rolls, they’re nothing short of delicious!

Buffalo chicken bites are one of my favorite tailgating foods. Creamy, spicy buffalo chicken dip gets spooned inside of crescent roll cups and baked to golden brown perfection. I really love buffalo chicken dip, so these are right up my alley!

How to make the best Buffalo Chicken Dip Crescent Cups:

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F, then grease a mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Unroll your sheet of crescent dough and cut into 6 rows by 4 rows to create 24 squares. Gently form the squares of dough into each mini muffin cup, then set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and spicy ranch. Mix until smooth, then fold in the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, and ¼ cup of chopped green onion.
  • Mix to combine, then evenly spoon the filling into the crescent cups and bake for 15 minutes. Garnish with remaining chopped green onion before serving!

Buffalo Chicken Dip Crescent Cups taste just like buffalo chicken wings…but in a much easier to eat form! Don’t get me wrong, my love runs deep for buffalo wings, but they’re messy to eat. Take those same flavors, put them in a dip and then serve in bite-sized cups? Now that’s the kind of party appetizer I’m talking about!

I’m not sure there’s ever a wrong way to serve bite-sized buffalo chicken dip cups, but these are practically begging to be set out for your next game day. Serve them on a platter alongside carrot and celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping!

My top tips:

  • CRESCENT SHEEET: I recommend using a crescent roll sheet rather than the traditional crescent rolls with perforated lines for this recipe. This way, you don’t have to worry about the perforated lines splitting or coming undone as you slice the dough into squares.
  • SOFTENED CREAM CHEESE: Letting your cream cheese soften is important for a smooth, lump-free filling. If you don’t have time to let your cream cheese soften on the counter, you can turn on your oven and set the cream cheese on top of the stove to softened in a matter of minutes.
  • SPICY RANCH: Using Marzetti spicy ranch is convenient here because the ranch and hot sauce flavors are combined into one, but you can also use ½ cup of your favorite buffalo sauce and ¼ cup of ranch dressing for the same result!
  • CHEESE: I recommend shredding your own cheese rather than buying pre-shredded at the grocery store. Shredding the cheese yourself allows it to melt better compared to pre-shredded cheese that usually has added starch to prevent clumping.
  • REMOVING FROM THE PAN: I recommend letting these buffalo chicken dip bites cool slightly before removing them from the pan. If the edges of the crescent cups seem to be stuck to the pan, run a butter knife around the edges to loosen each cup.
  • STORING: Transfer any leftovers to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, pop them in your air fryer or oven until warmed through. Do not use the microwave as that will make the crusts soggy and soft.
