Use only fresh crabmeat, and double the amount.. It needs to be more crabby.

Did not meet expectations

Great Party Dip
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a great crowd-pleaser and delicious with black-pepper triscuits! I would recommend chilling the dip though, so it's... easier to load onto your cracker.Read more
