This post brought to you by Martha White ~ These Kickin’ Crab Corn Muffins are made with sweet cornbread filled with jumbo lump crab meat otherwise known as potluck food done right. I truly love potlucks and potluck food. I was raised attending family and church potlucks regularly. I think it’s the sense of community and sharing that goes along with potlucks that makes everyone feel warm and fuzzy and then there’s the incredible spread of food.
Don’t forget to pop over and see what the others are cooking, you can see their links at the end of the recipe post. For today’s potluck I’m sharing these over-the-top kickin’ crab corn muffins that are sure to be a hit of your special gathering.

I’ve been looking for a corn bread recipe, so thanks Melissa, I’ll give this one a try.
Brenda Wilkins says
I MADE these yesterday for Valentine’s day and they came out wonderfully.I did bake them in a mandolin pan because I wanted something special and small for my ladies luncheon and that was the perfect size. I didn’t use Martha White because I already had a Stone ground cornbread mix I got at Central Market in Houston. It gave the cornbread a nice texture with the crabmeat…they raved! I serve them with clam chowder and a heart shrimp salad. First time I’ve been on your site.Thanks for a great recipe.
One thing that is annoying is when people make a comment and they haven’t tried the recipe. Yes it looks good and you are going to try it..do that .. comment after you’ve made it that’s the purpose of the comment section.
