01 -

The tangy crunch of pickles cuts through rich buffalo heat in a way that keeps you coming back for just one more bite
It comes together in ten minutes flat, but everyone thinks you spent way more effort on it than you actually did
It somehow manages to be both the creamiest and the crunchiest thing on the snack table

02 -

Cold cream cheese will leave you with tiny unappealing lumps that no amount of extra mixing can fix, so plan ahead and let it soften properly
This dip actually tastes better after sitting for an hour or two, so feel free to make it in the morning and let the flavors marry in the fridge
Don't use sweet pickle chips or bread and butter pickles thinking they'll work the same, they absolutely won't

03 -

Room temperature ingredients blend together seamlessly, so take everything out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before starting
Hand chopping pickles instead of using relish gives you texture differences throughout every single bite
Taste after adding the buffalo sauce before deciding on more, because the pickle heat builds as it sits
