I have always been a snack fiend. I tried to be a more \u201cthree square meals\u201d person, but it didn\u2019t really stick. Instead of fighting it, I\u2019ve accepted it and embraced it. When I opened the Sonic app to order a drink, a screen showing its new Buffalo Chicken Dip Bites came up. Seeing the picture of the tiny empanada-looking snack, I immediately added them to my order.<\/p>\n
Sonic recently added the Buffalo Chicken Dip Bites as a limited time item. Each piece is a crispy fried pocket filled with cheddar cheese, Buffalo sauce, and chicken. By default, you are given a cup of ranch to dip them in, and they are available in quantities of 3, 5, or 7.<\/p>\n
The outside wrapper was absolutely fascinating to me. It looked similar to an empanada or even a ravioli, but ate like a wonton. The crispiness and chew were reminiscent of the wontons I\u2019d get from my local Chinese takeout restaurant. It walked that line of crunchy but not brittle. I was worried the outside would be the weakest part of the item, but it ended up being its strength.<\/p>\n

The Buffalo chicken dip mixture was fine but didn\u2019t wow me in the way I had hoped. I am sure some of you are saying to yourself, \u201cHolly\u2026it\u2019s a fast food item. What do you mean \u2018wow\u2019 you?\u201d<\/p>\n
In recent years, Sonic has stepped up many of its flavors. At least to me, they\u2019ve been more willing to try bolder and unique food offerings to varying degrees of success. I was looking forward to a spicy, flavorful filling with the Buffalo chicken dip, but it fell flat. I was hoping for that strong spice I find present in most iterations of \u201cBuffalo,\u201d but instead got a La Croix interpretation.<\/p>\n

Dipping into ranch only made the bite milder in flavor and added nothing to my eating experience. If I were to get them again, I would probably get a side of Buffalo sauce to dip them in to see if that would bring the flavor to the level I had expected. It was just a bummer to have a unique item that did not quite live up to what I wanted.<\/p>\n
The Sonic Buffalo Chicken Dip Bites didn\u2019t deliver the spicy snack I had hoped for, but I think the presentation with the tiny fried shell has much potential for future snacks. Spice tolerance is a fairly subjective thing, so if you enjoy the more mild Buffalo flavor, these will probably be a hit. However, if you\u2019re looking for a more cayenne pepper-forward Buffalo taste, these will probably not satisfy you.<\/p>\n
