Crab Dip Appetizer

Do you need a "melt in your mouth appetizer"? Then this Crab Dip Appetizer is the one you are looking for. You mix the ingredients together heat for 15 minutes and you are done.

You might want to keep an extra set of ingredients on hand to make some more. We have noticed that this dip is one of the first to go. The hard part is keeping my family away from it before the guests arrive.

We usually add a teaspoon of our favorite hot sauce just to give it a little kick.
