Skinny Buffalo Chicken Wonton Cups ~ Your favorite Buffalo Dip in “skinny” form and all packed inside a crispy wonton wrapper!
Do you guys love football season?
I do!! It’s basically one of my favorite times of the year for multiple reasons.
1. Great excuse to have wings and beer! They just seem to go together with football, like peanut butter and jelly.
2. Its the fall and fall is my favorite season.
3. I’m in a all ladies fantasy football league so its my chance to have that athlete competitive side in me come out. I do admit I get a little into it and when I lose its not a happy day.
4. Its football people!!! Its america’s sport! 🙂
Anywho, besides all my excitement for football season I am also super pumped to share these Skinny Buffalo Dip Wonton Cups with you today! They are as good as Julie’s famous Green Pepper Sausage Wontons!
I think I was first introduced to the famous Creamy Buffalo Dip at a Superbowl party a couple years back and I haven’t looked back since. The stuff is seriously addicting! But ohh so not good for you, tons of cheese and ranch and if you ask me .. kinda unnecessarily added. You can still have the same great “buffalo wing” taste with half the cheese and ranch.
How do I know this you ask?
Well, um… because of this recipe … duh!!! 🙂
What I love about these Skinny Buffalo Dip Wonton Cups is they are in bite-size form. So instead of taking a whopping scoop of Buffalo Dip and a mound of tortilla chips which could equal XXXXX calories … you have built in portion control with these babies. Score!!
And.. cecause of the decreased amounts of cheese and ranch dressing you won’t feel as guilty eating one or two or three or ok five of these! Double score!
So the next time you have people over for the big game be sure to whip these out and wow everyone with these Skinny Buffalo Dip Wonton Cups.

Jennifer says
These were delicious. I made them lighter by using bolthouse yogurt ranch dressing.
Julie says
Sounds great! I’m glad you enjoyed them!
Jennifer says
What is the sugar content per serving? I am doing WW and trying to figure out how many points each serving is based on the nutrition info and it is missing the sugar. 🙂
Julie says
Hi Jennifer – those numbers are an estimate. Your best bet is to look at the brands of ingredients you use and calculate the sugar from those.
WP says
These were delicious, but how do you get the bottoms of the wontons crispy instead of soggy?
Mae says
Put the pan with the wonton wrapper in each cup in the oven for 3 minutes. Then add chicken and sauce and cheese and put back in the oven.
Julie says
Great tip, thanks Mae!

2g serving size? That is the equivalent weight of 2 large paper clips and it has 454mg of sodium. That’s insane and not healthy at all. Yikes!
Julie Evink says
A serving size is 1 wonton cup
Carol G says
What size muffin pan do you use? Mini or Regular

Carol G says
Are these made in mini muffin pans or regular muffin pans?

Carol at Wild Goose Tea says
Maybe I shouldn’t admit I am not a football fan—most of the time. But when the University of Wash or the Seattle Seahawks are in upward mode and especially if they are heavy on a passing game, then I get pulled in. But I always love fall and I always love all the appetizers that pop out because it is football season. This recipe is a prime example.

These look perfect for any get together and I am pretty sure if I made them for game day, they would be devoured in no time!
