1. Make the Crab Filling
In a bowl, mix cream cheese, cheddar, mayo, mustard, Old Bay, garlic powder, parsley, Worcestershire, and lemon juice until smooth.
Gently fold in crab meat (don’t overmix—keep those lumps!).
2. Assemble the Bombs
Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles.
Place 1 heaping tbsp crab mix on each triangle, then roll up, sealing edges.
3. Bake to Golden Perfection
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place bombs on a parchment-lined tray, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with Parmesan.
Bake 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
4. Serve & Enjoy!
Garnish with extra parsley and serve with lemon wedges or remoulade sauce.
