Mark's Crawfish Dip

Submitted by Sherrybeth

"DH decided he could "outdo" my crawfish dip for a recent get together we had. After combining 3 different recipes, I'll have to say that he came up with a winner that is a MUCH different recipe from the one I've used for years. Serve this dip with assorted crackers, corn chips or large chunks of toasted french bread."
