Ooh…yummy. This looks like a great appetizer. I’ll have to try it out.
Ah this sounds sooo yummy! I love salty and spicy so much, especially with a cold beer!
Mmmm, this sounds delicious! This would be the perfect thing to have out at family gatherings over the holidays. I’d have to make two batches though, a spicy one for my husband and a milder one for me 🙂
You can def make it more mild and maybe double the ranch! That would be really delicious.
Mmmm… I love ranch so I bet this snack would be so good. I will have to try this recipe over the holiday.
This would be a great snack for the holidays, especially if you have some guests coming over.
