• 2. ICING: Mix cream cheese, butter, vanilla and confectioner's sugar until smooth. Blend well. Ice every cracker. I make one stripe down each cracker. This makes them look prettier but you will have some icing left-over. I also rather use Town House Original Topper crackers because they have an indentation on top.

• Top with the crushed crackers, using more or less per your own tastes. Make sure to season as you want with salt and pepper.
