In Maryland, we stayed at a hotel that sent guests home with a crab dip recipe and a spice pouch. Now I’ve made my own dip that rekindles memories of that trip. —Kristina Wenner, Jamison, Pennsylvania

OMG! This has got to be the best crab dip recipe I have ever eaten. It was easy to make and so incredibly delicious that I feel the recipe is restaurant quality. It also re-heated very well the next day in the microwave without any taste or textural issues. My husband raved about it and asked for me to make it again for Super Bowl Sunday! This is a must try for all crab dip lovers.
