Crab Bite Recipe

Last night I was in the mood to make something. Since I still have not replace the heating element in my oven. I knew I couldn’t use that. I still wanted to bake something. I immediately grabbed my Babycakes maker. Sure everything looks like muffins, but the Babycakes maker allows me to get baking out of my system. Plus, I don’t have to worry about heating up the entire house.

One thing I realized with the Babycakes making. I can make anything in a mini version, I want to bake in the oven.  

For April Fool’s Day I made mini meatloaf’s and frosted it with mashed potatoes to look like cupcakes. The teens fell for it. We all got a good laugh.

My daughter and I got the ingredients around. As I wanted to make a version of crab bites or mini crab cakes. After looking at all the ingredients, it was agreed to make crab bites. Even though the Babycakes maker will make them look like muffins or little cakes.

I was able to find the crab meat on sale at Walmart in those small packages of imitation crab for a $1.00 a piece. The can of biscuits I bought in a package of four.  I believe they were on sale at the time I bought them to. I can not for the life of me remember how much I paid for them. You should know me, if I can’t find a deal or on sale. I am not buying it.
