Broiled Crab Meltaways

"This recipe is great for parties, and you can store it ready-to-go in the freezer for up to two months. It's very handy to keep some frozen for those random black-tie affairs that sometimes pop up at one's residence unexpectedly. This recipe came from "Southern Living, 1993 Annual Recipes". I have found this a great gift for batchelor friends, stores easily, broils easily and impresses ladies and parents alike!"

This recipe is great. I've made it for the past few years for our family and they love it. It's so easy to fix and I love the fact that they can be made ahead and placed in the freezer until ready to eat. Linda/Michigan
