Just like the hokey-pokey this cheese crab dip is what it’s all about.

Do you want the exact recipe for awesomeness?  Well look no further than down at the bottom of this page.

*If you are not a lover of cheesy, melt in your mouth, glorious gooey guts bursting at the seams of flavor power, then this may not be your exact recipe for awesomeness and you should leave immediately cause we don’t like your kind around here much.

But if you are a lover…read on! You, my fellow crab nerd, are in for a treat!

This happens to be one of my family favorites.

It tastes so good that it can’t be good for you…and it isn’t. Not with all the added cheesy goodness but sometimes you’ve got to throw healthy eating out the door and invite them back when the guilt sets in.

So…

So long healthy food! Hello mouth fiesta!
