These were very good and easy. Chill or even freeze the completed roll until firm. Much easier to cut and it comes out perfect. I had a hard time cutting the soft dough. Take this to a party and they'll all want the recipe!! We used lobster as well as crab. Worked great with both.

These were absolutely delicious but I was not successful at making the coils. Mine were quite ugly. I gave up on trying to make them look like coils and on the 2nd batch I made, I rolled the dough the opposite way going long ways. I got about 10 pieces a roll so I ended up with about 20 instead of 16. Cook time was still the same. And still delicious! TIP: Make sure the Dough is COLD!

Very good!

I made these last year and they were a big hit at my Halloween dinner. Easy, cute, and they taste great.
