Maryland Crab Balls Recipe
Maryland Crab Balls are a bite-sized version of a classic favorite, and they’re always a hit at gatherings. Packed with sweet, tender crab meat and just the right blend of seasoning, these little bites are bursting with flavor. I love serving them as appetizers or party snacks because they’re easy to make and even easier to enjoy. Dip them in tartar sauce or a little melted butter, and you’ve got a true taste of Maryland!
