The Chew: Crab Puffs + Sin & Tonic Mocktail Recipe

The Chew: Crab Puffs + Sin & Tonic Mocktail

While the hosts of The Chew were talking about classic combinations, or things that just have to go together because they’re not as good on their own. Mario Batali and Carla Hall joked that they worked like that, saying that they really only enhance each other when they step into the kitchen to cook. We certainly reaped the benefits of the dynamic duo, as they prepared crunchy Crab Puffs and a refreshing Sin & Tonic Mocktail to go with them!

While Mario fried his Crab Puffs, you can easily bake them in a 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes for a slightly lighter version! Either way, you really can’t go wrong with this recipe! Click next page to find out how to make your own Crab Puffs and check out the ingredient below that you’ll need to combine for a Sin & Tonic Mocktail!
