Cheesy Buffalo Poppers

This appetizer is easy to pull together and is perfect for watching the big game! The spice level is like that of mild salsa so adjust the hot sauce up or down depending on your preference. Also for a lower spice option, you could opt for shredded cheddar cheese instead of pepper jack cheese!
