"This can be 'litened' up by using low fat cream cheese, mayo and Monterey Jack cheese but it won't be as much fun. Cook time is actually the chill time."

I've been making this same recipe for many years -- it's a crowd pleaser for sure! I have substituted some chopped up shrimp/prawns for the crab many times. It's equally as good. This is a very pretty addition to your Holiday buffet -- perfect colors.
