The Buffalo Ranch Pizza Rolls recipe calls for a dozen frozen pepperoni or cheese Totino's pizza rolls, two tablespoons of Buffalo wing sauce, two teaspoons of ranch dressing, and one tablespoon of chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley. Perhaps you never envisioned adding parsley to Totinos, but there's always a first time for everything.

For prepping the Buffalo ranch rolls, Totino's recommends placing the pizza rolls in a 4-quart or larger air fryer basket, setting the temperature to 390 degrees F, and cooking for four minutes. Then midway through you remove the basket, shake well to mix up the snacks, and cook for an additional four minutes. You'll want to put the Buffalo wing sauce in a medium bowl and then add the cooked pizza rolls, tossing to coat them like you would a traditional hot wing. Finally, drizzle the rolls with the ranch dressing and top with parsley.
