Preheat your oven to broil. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Split the English muffins in half and lay them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crabmeat, Old English sharp cheddar cheese spread, softened butter, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Spread an even layer of the crab cheese mixture onto each muffin half, covering the entire surface.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the tops are bubbly and golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.
Remove the meltaways from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing each muffin half into quarters for serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Old English Crab Cheese Meltaways as a delicious appetizer or snack.
