Halloween is my favorite holiday! Here's a quote from the original recipe, but I don't have a name to go with it. This is a quick and easy spread to make for any occasion. The name comes from a friend of mine who hates crab and made some disparaging comments about the appearance of the dip. It tastes great and has the perfect appearance for Halloween when paired with a creative name. I like topping this spread with 1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds, but you lose the shredded brain effect. For serving on a different occasion, omit the food coloring and add the almonds.
Ingredients:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 (8 ounce) can crabmeat, drained and flaked
3 tablespoons onions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh chives, snipped
2 tablespoons milk
orange food coloring, and
green food coloring
1/2 teaspoon prepared horseradish
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. Mix all of the ingredients except for the almonds and place in a greased shallow baking dish, adding enough green and orange food coloring to give the dish a greyish cast.
3. Bake for 15 minutes.
