SUPER-EASY CRAB PUFFS
A good savory appetizer can be hard to find, especially when you don't want to spend all afternoon prepping it in the kitchen. That's why we made these easy crab puffs, which are completely delicious and also completely easy to make. One thing that makes this recipe so simple is that these are baked crab puffs. There's no need to stand over a hot stove cooking up this appetizer. Just assemble the ingredients, (which include some amazing secret flavors) and let them bake while you get ready for your party! From the Chef: "This seems like the kind of appetizer Mad Men's Betty Draper would serve at one of her 1950s dinner parties while sipping a Vodka Gimlet. These bite-size snacks are ideal for munching on while milling about and hearing the latest gossip from your friends and family." - Addie Gundry This recipe is from RecipeLion's 103 Cookbook series, Retro Recipes from the '50s and '60s: 103 Vintage Appetizers, Dinners, and Drinks Everyone Will Love.

I found this recipe in an old cookbook that my mom gave me when Mathew and I moved in together. I think they're great, especially when served with some grilled asparagus and a big glass of sweet tea.
