Party Crab Puffs

Yields8 ServingsPrep Time10 minsCook Time3 minsTotal Time13 mins

Let’s get this party started! Seafood is always a crowd pleaser, and these quick & easy crab puffs are a party delight in each and every bite! Crunchy on the outside and packed with sweet lump crab meat on the inside – these poppable puffs are just a lot of fun to eat! For a super time-saver, prepare the filling in advance and place in the fridge until you’re ready to fry. My party tip: go on and double or triple this recipe because maybe it’s magic, but somehow these puffs just disappear!
