These were pretty good, nothing too spectacular. I wanted to add a bit of horseradish but did not have any, I think that if I added just a bit it would pep this up. I will say that I enjoyed that this was a nice, easy compliment to a bowl of soup for a quick weekday dinner. The only alteration I made was that I used two cans of crab, I'm not sure why so many recipes on this site call for so little crab in recipes, but this ended up providing the consistency I was hoping for. I did not change any of the other ingredient proportions.

Having a crabber hubby and always looking for new crab recipes, I tried this new recipe.I used to just put crab on a muffin and broil cheese. It was boring, so I looked up these recipes. I subbed the tarragon for a dollup of horseradish and YUMMY! soooo good! Will be serving these as an appetizer before our big Xmas dinner with family. It's that good!

I thought this was a quick, simple recipe and one that, as the originator said could be used for any occasion from a teaparty, shower to an unexpected luncheon guest. I like to have something in the house that I can whip up if that unexpected guest shows up around lunchtime and this definitely fits the bill. I will use it again, both for company and myself. I am a crab lover. The only modification I made was to use 8 oz of crab because I had some fresh Phillips crab on hand and it came in that quantity. I prefer fresh but I bought a can of crab to keep on hand for unexpected guests. I always have the remaining ingredients on hand. Thanks for the recipe.

Tarragon actually overwhelming, as was the pepper, maybe if you double the crab it would be OK. But I won't be trying this again.
