Tortilla chips, whole-wheat crackers, and pretzels, not only offer crunchy texture but a delightful flavor, as well. Any of these options will make your life super easy. Just open the bag or box, dump them into a chip and dip bowl, and serve!

Pita bread is another yummy way to enjoy this appetizer. The soft texture of the bread melds with the warm and creamy buffalo dip, creating an incredibly comforting treat.
