Scrumdilly-icious Crabby Spread

Another great party fave is this Crabby Spread. But, there's nothing crabby about it at all! This recipe was given to me by my lovely mother who got it from a co-worker/friend of hers. Put it on any cracker for a creamy, tasty snack or treat! You'll be hooked for sure!

INGREDIENTS:

1 pkg. Louis Kemp Crab Delights (log or flake style)
4 pkg. cream cheese
Dash pepper
Dash salt
Dash garlic powder
4 green onions

DIRECTIONS:

1. Chop the Crab Delights into fine pieces.
2. Chop the onions into small pieces.
3. Mix all ingredients together.

This makes a pretty large amount of spread. If you want to reduce it, just cut the ingredients in half. Enjoy!!
