I was dabbling in the kitchen as norm & been experimenting for the holidays and this one is most definitely a keeper. It's going to make its appearance on my Thanksgiving snack table. We love cream cheese based dips so that was a must & I used claw meat instead of the normal crab and oh what a flavorful difference. None of the ingredients overpower the flavor of the crab, which I liked. I just know my guests are going to love it! If you like crab dips or spreads, this is a must try. You won't be disappointed . Simple ingredients, but awesome flavor! Enjoy!
