I have to be honest about sports. I’m there for the good times: the World Series, the Olympics, and, of course, the Super Bowl. Even then, for me, it’s all about the food. I’m right there, front and center, on Super Bowl Sunday, cheering on the underdog, breathlessly waiting for the next commercial while enjoying some decadent party food.

Today, I want to share with you my favorite, best-ever party dips. No one would consider any of these healthy food choices, and for that, I don’t apologize. After all, we don’t do this every day. So let’s lighten up and get ready to party!

Slow-Cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 10-ounce cans chunk chicken, drained
  • 2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 3/4 cup pepper sauce (like Frank’s RedHot or Tabasco)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken, breaking up the large pieces with a fork. Add the hot sauce, stirring until heated through. Stir in the cream cheese and ranch dressing. Continue stirring until well-blended and warm.
