Notes

To make this spicier, use Frank's Red Hot rather than buffalo sauce. You can also stir in ground cayenne pepper for more spice. 
Be sure to use the ranch seasoning and not the ranch dip or this will be quite salty. Hidden Valley makes both and the ranch seasoning is available in packets or in larger canisters.
