  1. Wow! I got raving reviews when I made this dip for my daughter's birthday party! It was great with Townhouse pretzel crackers!!!
     
  2. Loved it. I made this for Thanksgiving this year for the first time. WHAT A HIT! Everyone loved it and it was gone in no time. A few of my family members asked for the recipe for their holiday parties. Something I will make again and again.
     
  3. I was disappointed in the taste. It was so sour... I blame the Miracle Whip... should have known better... because I hate mayonaise! I was looking for something more like a cheese ball with salsa or shrimp sauce on top that I could use on crackers or tortilla chips... this was NOT it! Too soft like pudding! Blehck! I won't make this one again.
     
  4. This recipe went over well with a small group of my friends. There were a few comments made that it was very rich. I recommend serving it with a side-dip of cocktail sauce ( I used recipe #18273 which was well received) for those that like the flavor. In the crab half I used imitation crab and no one noticed. A definite 4 stars!
     
  5. This is great.....made it at Thanksgiving for a small party and I'm just getting a chance to review. What do we care about Neptune anyway? Great recipe!
