03 -
Throw cream cheese, mayo, crab, salt, green onions, and cayenne in a bowl and mix until you get a smooth blend.

# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Swap in light mayo and cream cheese if you want to make this snack a bit lighter. Don’t pack in too much filling or it’ll ooze out.
02 -
If your rolling pin gets sticky, dust it with a bit of flour so the dough won’t stick.
