We sure love a good cheese ball here at 12 Tomatoes. They’re a little retro in the best of ways and highly versatile. This Devil Crab Cream Cheese Ball is the perfect way to mix things by throwing a little seafood in the mix. The flavor is creamy, savory, and a surefire crowd-pleaser. Whether you’re hosting a party or need a dish to bring to your next potluck, this one is going to disappear in a flash as soon as it hits the table.

The mixture for the cheese ball starts out with a generous two packages of cream cheese. Toss in some diced onion and celery for some crunch and add in a bit of zip with lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Garlic powder and onion powder help round everything out, while a touch of dried parsley adds that hint of herbiness. It’s comfort food, cocktail hour-style, and we can’t get enough.

We love pairing this cheese ball with buttery crackers, crunchy veggie sticks, or even bagel chips for a little extra flair. Pouring cocktail sauce over the top before serving is an optional step, but one that’s highly encouraged! Whether you’re whipping it up for a holiday gathering or just for a little indulgence, this Devil Crab Cream Cheese Ball is the kind of recipe that makes you feel like a host-with-the-most every time.
