This recipe was a super hit at our wedding reception! Many people wanted the recipe. I made the recipe exactly as the recipe called for except I was able to use fresh dungeness crab. I am certain that canned crab would be fine. It tasted great with both crackers and french bread baguettes. Be careful if you make it, it's addictive!

I printed this recipe in 2003 and finally made it in 2007. I can't believe I waited so long..........it's great! The only change I made was to use green onions (and tops) instead of minced onion. Good, quick, and easy appetizer that everyone liked! Thank you, Colleen

This was good but was definitely better on the second day, so make a day ahead! EDITED: Had a small amount leftover on the 3rd day--tossed with hot pasta YUMMY! Would be divine with some extra fresh lump crab. Thanks again.

Outstanding! I followed the recipe exactly and honestly was a little afraid of what I might serve the next day! Boy, was it wonderful! I would make this again anytime. It's quick and easy and, even better, you can make it the night before! -
