These are so good! I used a can of crabmeat because I couldn't find frozen crabmeat - except for imitation crabmeat. I put 4 oz. of cream cheese in mine in addition to the mayo and served them warm and bubbly. I used a pastry bag and large tip to pipe the filling into the shells to the job easier and less messy. They were gone in seconds!!! Thanks for sharing a great recipe!

Delicious and quick to make. I did sub cream cheese and a table spoon or two of sour cream with some pepper too for the mayo as Dh won't eat it - and made a half batch. I got 18 cups out of it - and baked them for 8 minutes. Delightful!! Thank you for posting a great appy! **Made for Beverage Tag 2007**
