Notes

For extra crispiness, consider mixing crushed Doritos with a teaspoon of cornstarch before coating. Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing and blending. Customize the recipe by substituting flavors of chips or cheeses to cater to your taste. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage. Avoid microwaving the leftovers to maintain crispiness.
