I don't know - the ranch just didn't work for me. I used pepper jack cheese because it was what I had on hand, I'd definitely use cheddar next time because they were bland looking (but not tasting). And as a personal taste I'll cut way back on the ranch. Thanks plainchicken! Made for PAC 2012

I loved these and so did my family! I wanted a quick and easy appetizer to take to a small family gathering, but wanted something besides the standard chips and salsa or chips and queso. These caught my eye and they were so easy to make and the result is great! I don't even like ranch dressing and I gobbled these up! I halved the recipe as I didn't need 60, but there wasn't a single one left! This is a great recipe that I will make again! Thanks!
