All the Flavor of Crab Rangoon Without Folding a Single Wonton

I love a baked dip! Spinach artichoke dip, pepperoni pizza dip and jalapeño popper dip are 3 favorites that the family often requests.

For New Year’s Eve appetizers, one of my favorite dips is this hot crab dip. It’s a fun twist on crab rangoon, without having to fold wonton wrappers and hope they stick together during frying.

The sweet chili sauce drizzle on top is a must. Sweet chili sauce is the sauce you eat with crab rangoon and gives it that restaurant quality flavor you’ll love. It’s the secret to flavorful crab rangoon!

This melty crab rangoon dip is great served with the wonton chips, but also just as good with tortilla chips, buttery crackers, served on sourdough bread or alongside baked chicken tenders.

Try one of our other easy dip recipes: buffalo chicken dip, Mexican street corn dip, sausage cheese dip and cheese dip. And try our easy fruit dip for a sweet dip!

Enjoy! -Julie

What goes in crab rangoon dip?

The ingredient list may look a little long for this crab rangoon dip, but I promise it’s easy! I buy imitation crab meat at Aldi, which you can find in the refrigerated section.

Use gluten free panko breadcrumbs to make this baked dip gluten free. I also use these breadcrumbs on our turkey casserole and air fryer spicy chicken.
