This dip was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use milder peppers.

This crab dip is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. I like to serve it with crackers or tortilla chips.

The chipotle peppers in this dip give it a nice kick. It's the perfect appetizer for a party or potluck.

This crab dip was a huge hit at my party! It had the perfect amount of spice and the crab was so tender and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
