-
Let it Stand:
- Allow the mixture to stand until the moisture is absorbed and it becomes soft enough to roll into balls. This should take a few minutes, ensuring all the flavors meld together beautifully. 😋
-
Adjust Consistency:
- If the mixture seems too thin, you can add some crushed Ritz crackers or breadcrumbs. However, make sure to wait until the liquid is absorbed before adding anything. On the other hand, if it’s too thick, a little more salad dressing can do the trick!
-
Form Bon Bon’s:
- Roll the mixture into quarter-sized balls or larger, depending on your preference. The goal is to create bite-sized delights bursting with flavor.
-
Coat with Shake n Bake:
- Roll each ball in Shake n Bake coating, ensuring they’re nicely coated for a crispy finish.
-
Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the coated Crab Bon Bon’s on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside, while maintaining their creamy goodness inside. 🌟
-
Serve:
- Once they’re done, you have a couple of options. Serve them piping hot, straight from the oven, for a delightful warm treat. Alternatively, let them cool to room temperature for a more relaxed dining experience.
-
Serving Suggestions:
- Some folks love to dip these Crab Bon Bon’s in Cocktail Sauce for an extra zingy kick. However, they are just as delightful on their own, allowing the flavors of the crab and seasonings to shine through.
