Prepare the day before your romantic evening so when you get home the appetizer is ready.

Press crabmeat between paper towels to absorb excess moisture. Combine crabmeat and green onions in a large bowl; set aside. Combine cream cheese and next 6 ingredients; add to crabmeat mixture, tossing to coat. Cover crabmeat mixture and chill 8 hours. To serve, mount crabmeat mixture on a small tray.
