Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, shredded cheddar cheese, softened butter, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture until well combined and creamy.
Split the English muffins in half so that you have 12 open-faced halves.
Spread the crab mixture evenly over each English muffin half, making sure to cover the surface completely.
Place the prepared muffin halves on a baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden and bubbly.
Remove the crabbies from the oven and allow them to cool for a minute or two.
Slice each muffin half into quarters for smaller, bite-sized pieces, or leave them whole if preferred.
Serve the crabbies warm and enjoy!
