Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish or a 1.5-quart oven-safe dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, and ranch dressing. Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed or a sturdy spoon until smooth and well combined. Ensure there are no lumps of cream cheese for a consistently creamy texture.
