A disappointment
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I followed the recipe exactly. This was overly rich (and I love rich food) with less flavor than expected. I was surprised... after reading the great reviews, and very disappointed. Read more

Great recipe!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

A really nice recipe, but it is very rich. Tastes great on pumpernickel.

I first made this recipe 20 years ago so it's not an original recipe created by Paula. I believe she just added the hot... sauce. The original recipe did not have hot sauce. They are perfect to freeze. The original recipe also called for English muffins (halved) and would cut into 4 triangles. They are delicious.Read more

Make these ahead...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These are a really easy to make, delicious appetizer and always a hit. I make them up to the point where you spread the crab... mixture onto bread or english muffins and cut them into quarters. I then put the cut pieces on a baking sheet and freeze them. When firm, I toss them into a ziplock bag. When you're ready, you just pop them into the oven. Terrific if you're having a party and want to get some of the work done ahead of time...Thanks Paula!!Read more

Mom and Paula thought alike
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was looking in FN for an updated version of my Mom's Crabbies recipe she's been making since the 70's and up came Paula's... recipe - same as Mom's. Realized don't fix it if it ain't broke. My mom used English muffins, cut in quarters and frozen until needed. But I used mini ciabatta baguettes sliced and toasted. YUMMMMMMMMMMM either way!!!Read more

Outta this world!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made these little darlin's for nearly every social function I have been to for the last couple of years and they have... always been a hit. I have found that for a large crowd, they are a little large for appetizers, so I use a little skinny loaf of whole grain bread and slice it thin so that I get more servings. With soup or a salad, I go ahead and make them on whole grain english muffins. Also nice to spread on the bottom half of a split french loaf, broil, then top with some leafy greens , put on the top half, then slice for nice sandwiches. Even my kids love them!Read more
