How to Crush Crackers

To easily crush crackers into crumbs, process the crackers with a blender or food processor. Or, place the crackers in a heavy resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.

this was great, even my 9 yo loved it. I did change it up alittle, I used frozen red and green peppers, chopped fine, 1 pack of crab cake seasoning, I didn't coat my cakes I just mixed all crackers in my cakes, left out mustard and hot sauce and also I baked mine for 45 mins flipping at 25 mins. will make again. Once again, Kraft has made me look like a "Real" cook.

This was excellent! My husband wanted Crab Cakes and I found this recipe online. I was amazed at the cost of fresh crab meat (they wanted $18 for 8oz. so I purchased 3 of the Diamond branc Lump Crabmeat in the 6 oz can(for $5 each). I did make a small mistake however, I did not squeeze the crabmeat out a ton before mixing. So after I pulled it from the fridge it was a slight bit watery, but I squeezed it then instead. One of the steps wasn't entirely descriptive so I will give you a hint. After forming the cake, make sure you actually roll it in the remaining crumbs to completely cover them on all sides, I actually used an entire sleeve, not just 27 crackers for crumbs for the recipe. They did turn out fantastic though. I pan fried them in about 3 inches of Wessen Vegetable Oil until they were golden brown. I served them with the sauce with was great, fresh asparagus and fresh tomatoes with Basil leaves and fresh mozzarella. My husband loved it and we had a nice meal after a long d
