Quick Crab Fondue Recipe

This recipe was given to me over 30 years ago from a man who used to make it at hunting camp. It's very fast to make, and hard to stop eating. Enjoy!—Kathy Brown of Lake Havasu City, Arizona

I made this last night for our family movie night snack Everyone loved it. We ran out of bread so we used Ritz crackers and it was fantastic. I think tomorrow I might spread some on toast and see how that tastes. I am marking this down as something to take to our New Year's Eve party. I think it will be a huge hit.
