Instructions

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.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15–20 minutes or until bubbly.
Once out of the oven, dot each ghost with decorating gel or olive bits for eyes. Serve warm.

Notes

No ghost cutter? Freehand the shapes with a knife.
For extra spooky flair, serve with Rice Krispie Treat Ghosts or Crescent Roll Witch Hats!

Food safety: if you cook the chicken yourself, make sure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), as recommended by the USDA and Health Canada.
