If you have never enjoyed the orgasmic, savory delight of a hot crab dip then you really haven’t lived. Ok, maybe that’s a bit extreme, but you are certainly missing out and need to fill this giant seafood void in your life with the Campus Socialite’s quick and easy cheesy hot crab dip recipe. If you are making this God of the garnishes for a party, be prepared to gain about 15-20 new “best” friends and a possible Facebook group to honor your condiment prowess. After attending several parties where hosts have laid out some righteous dip, I can confidently say that this is the only form of crabs guests will ever want to catch.
