Crab Rangoon Dip and Crack

So it's December and some how that equals loads of dips and chips.  Plus, you eat until you are so stuffed you feel like you shouldn't eat for two weeks.  Oh and don't forget that you have to take stuff to all those parties, who feels like being in the kitchen?  Well these two will get you in and out of the kitchen in no time!  Plus, they are supper yummy.

So yesterday was the boss's birthday and we decided to bring in snacks in to celebrate.  We didn't plan until Wednesday and I forgot that night.  So I needed something that was not only quick but I could also find what I didn't have at Dollar General.  I'm 25 miles from an actual grocery store.  :(  I had seen the potato casserole made from this dip on Pinterest and decided to go for it.
