This makes 2 dinner sized hot pockets. Serve with a green salad for a nice summer meal or TV dinner. It makes a good sized meal and is pictured on a full sized plate.

1 package crescent rolls
½ of a 8 oz package initiation crab meat chunks
4 oz cream cheese
¼ cup soup cream
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Separate the crescent rolls in half. On a cookie sheet press together 4 rolls into a oblong sheet.

Mix the ingredients above and put ½ on each of the two crescent sheets. Fold in half and back as directed for the rolls.
