Easy to make and looks cute, but tastes way too salty for my liking. Next time might skip the ranch!
I don’t know about mixing cream cheese with ranch. Sounds weird. Did anyone actually try this?
This is such a fun idea for a party! It was a hit with the kids and adults alike. Thank you!
Sounds cool, but I’m not sure about cheese puffs… Can it be made with real carrots instead?
I’m so glad to hear that! It’s always nice when both kids and adults enjoy the same dish. 🎉
