Stuffed mushrooms are a fabulous appetizer for any occasion. These crabmeat stuffed mushrooms are one of my favorite finger-food party snacks. You can use any kind of mushroom that can be stuffed of course, just be sure to save the stems and include them in your stuffing mix. By the way, mushrooms are fantastic when stuffed with clams, sausage, and vegetarian options, too!
Good luck and enjoy.
